Nas, byname of Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones, also called Nasty Nas, (born September 14, 1973, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.), American rapper and songwriter who became a dominant voice in 1990s East Coast hip-hop. Nas built a reputation as an expressive chronicler of inner-city street life.Nasir Jones, the son of a jazz musician, grew up in public housingin Queens, New York. He dropped out of school in the eighth grade and searched for a creative outlet, finally settling on hip-hop. His breakthrough came in 1992, when his song “Half Time” (credited to Nasty Nas) appeared on the sound track to the film Zebrahead. Columbia Records soon signed him to a contract. His debut recording as Nas, Illmatic (1994), drew widespread acclaim for its poetic narration of hard-edged inner-city life.The more pop-oriented approach of It Was Written (1996) helped that album reach an even wider audience than its predecessor but ignited a recurring tension in Nas’s career between the appetite of the pop audience and the demands of hip-hop purists. He maintained his commercial appeal with I Am... (1999), although by that time he had also become embroiled in a public feud with fellow rapper Jay-Z over which of the two was the preeminent voice in East Coast hip-hop. The schism inspired Stillmatic (2001), which many fans considered a return to form. The two rappers publicly settled their differences in 2005, and shortly thereafter Nas signed with Def Jam, of which Jay-Z was president at the time.Nas’s penchant for provocation marked Hip Hop Is Dead (2006) and an untitled follow-up (2008), while Life Is Good (2012) struck an introspective tone. He also notably collaborated with reggae musician Damian Marley (the youngest son of Bob Marley) on the album Distant Relatives (2010).Nas also made occasional film appearances, notably in Belly (1998), a crime drama in which he starred opposite rapper DMX, and Black Nativity (2013), an adaptation of Langston Hughes’s gospel play.

- Sifchain Finance — Sifchain is the world's first omni-chain decentralized exchange (DEX) for digital assets, unlocking liquidity in various chains to free people from egregious fees and inefficient trades. To bring this intention to reality, we envision extensive cross-compatibility with DEXs and centralized exchanges (CEX). The future of Sifchain is aDecentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) and, for DAOs to self-sustain, they need access to massive capital. We believe that building cross-chain liquidity will be fundamental to the future of the blockchain industry: an expectation, not a feature.Sifchain is built on the Cosmos Software Development Kit (SDK). Therefore, it is compatible with other Cosmos Network blockchains like Kava, Akash, and Terra via the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol. As such, it is 100 times more efficient than Ethereum-based DEXs like Uniswap in terms of both trading fees and transaction speed.As a decentralized exchange, Sifchain combines the best elements of liquidity pools and order books for optimal order execution.

While saving time and money is exciting, 69% of customers have stated that reputation comes before price when hiring tradies (Newspoll Survey sourced by Oneflare). Oneflare has implemented an assortment of trust and safety features to ensure that customers always find a quality service provider. Reviews and ratings by previous customers coupled with business profiles featuring photos, testimonials and verification create an open community on the platform. Oneflare’s Home Care Guarantee also covers customers up to $500 if something goes wrong, providing the ultimate peace of mind no matter the size of the job.
