Nas is writing his autobiography and is expected to tacks his infamous feud with Jay-Z.
The rapper is working on the book, entitled It Ain't Hard to Tell, with music journalist Touré.
"This is hip-hop history," Touré wrote on Twitter. "I've been talking to Nas about writing his autobiography for 15 years … We'll tell his life and deconstruct some songs."
Rap Radar reports that as well as his battle with Jay-Z, the book will also document his mother's battle with cancer and four-year marriage to Kelis.
Nas's It Ain't Hard To Tell is released Atria Books in autumn 2012.
