Nas and Hennessy Unveil Limited-Edition 'HenNASsy' Bottle for Hip-Hop's 50th Anniversary

Hennessy, the world's leading cognac brand, and legendary rapper Nas have collaborated on a limited-edition bottle called 'HenNASsy' to commemorate hip-hop's 50th anniversary. The bottle will be revealed on July 20, 2023.

Paying homage to hip-hop culture, the 'HenNASsy' bottle will feature special design elements and include a note and signature from Nas, who has been a longtime ambassador for the brand.

Hennessy's support for hip-hop luminaries, including Nas, spans over a decade, making this collaboration a fitting tribute to the genre's influence and legacy.

The 'HenNASsy' bottle launch is part of Hennessy's Rep Yours campaign, which includes an AI-assisted fan experience called AI.bum Covers. This feature allows fans to turn their selfies into personalized album covers that reflect the scope and history of hip-hop.

On August 11, the official 50th anniversary of hip-hop, Hennessy will launch multiple activations in various U.S. markets, partnering with ambassadors to honor the day and celebrate the culture in different regions and cities.
