NasHip-hop star Nas will defy his record label bosses at Def Jam when he releases The Nigger Mixtape - after he was pressured to drop the controversial word from the title of his forthcoming album.

The I Can hitmaker announced earlier this month that he will be changing the LP title from Nigger to Nas, in an effort to appease Def Jam executives' fears over the racially charged word.

However, on a forthcoming underground collaboration with fellow hip-hop star DJ Green Lantern, Nas will finally be able to use the name - and achieve his original aim of making a political statement about hypocrisy in hip-hop.

The independent mixtape will hit stores next month, and his Def Jam release will follow on July 1.
