Entrepreneur and co-founder of Mass Appeal Records, Nas has worked with all the greats, such as Big Sean, as well as up and coming artists such as Houston-based rapper, Don Toliver, who&#8217;s signed to Travis Scott&#8217;s label, Cactus Jack.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His latest single, &#8216;Replace Me&#8217;, comes with a collage style music video, directed by Christian Sutton. The above three mentioned, Nas, Don Toliver, and Big Sean, all feature in the clip, which shows a woman navigating her internal struggle over a love she can&#8217;t replace. It&#8217;s a tender love story, a journey of romance, with our three leading men coming alive in every photograph. In a scrapbook style rendition, we see them getting intimate with their ladies, or having a night out &#8211; all the while we&#8217;re reminded that they&#8217;re unparalleled in their field. Don Toliver takes front and centre when he&#8217;s pouring his heart out, Big Sean spits pure ballads while surrounded by bouquets, and Nas stares at the camera, asserting his dominance, all while he&#8217;s sweet talking a girl sitting on his lap.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The three have a close bond behind the scenes, and this shows in the video, the lyrics striking a chord with their honesty, in particular when Big Sean tells it like it is, and says, &#8220;I&#8217;m not your ex, I&#8217;m your ecstasy&#8221;. The three are united and undefeated; nobody&#8217;s gonna challenge them on that anyway, anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out the music video for &#8216;Replace Me&#8217; below, and let us know what you think of Nas&#8217;s collab with Don Toliver and Big Sean.
