NEW YORK — Nas is taking his war of words to the printed page.

The rapper, known for his million-selling album Illmatic and his public feuds with Jay-Z and Bill O’Reilly, has a memoir coming out in the fall of 2012.

HarperCollins announced Monday the book will be called It Ain’t Too Hard to Tell, and co-written with Toure.

Nas’ other records include It Was Written and Life is Good.
