Excess! See The ‘Illmatic’ 1988 Benz Nas Had Completely Rebuilt And Customized With A Boomin’ System

BET's Original Series "Excess" gives you all the deets, including the hefty price tag.

Nas is living his best life, and he’s got the custom ride to prove it!

ICYMI: BET Original Series Excess, with Pio, took a trip to Unique Rides in NYC to see the lavish custom-made cars made for celebrities like Busta Rhymes, 50 Cent, Diddy and, let’s just say, we almost lost our minds when we saw the 1988 custom Mercedes-Benz created for none other than rap legend Nas.

In the words of the host, Pio La Ditingancia, we check out “good sh*t.”

Don’t believe us? See for yourself:

The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E is completely custom: a body kit, new bumper, paint job, custom rag-top, white piping with blue leather with interior seats, custom wheels, and serious boomin’ sound system.

Estimated total with customization? $25K.

Recently the 44-year-old “Illmatic” rapper took to the ‘gram to shout out Pio while also giving some updates on his custom whip confessing he only listens to “1988 music only in that 88 Benz.”

If the car looks familiar, it’s the same car he posted in 2017 picking up his then-girlfriend Nicki Minaj.

Talk about Excess to the finer things in life, Nas is definitely winning!
