Last week Odd Future dropped by for a crazy episode of "RapFix Live," but this week, things are about to get real nasty. Nasty Nas will stop by MTV on Wednesday to chop it up with Sway, taking a trip down memory lane and looking toward the future and his upcoming album Life is Good.

Wednesday will mark the first time the rap legend has sat on the "RapFix Live" couch. It's been 18 years since Nas dropped his iconic debut Illmatic, and the Queensbridge MC proved that he is just as vicious as ever when he dropped his latest single, "The Don," earlier this month. Backed by a reggae-tinged beat (co-produced by the late Heavy D), "The Don" finds Nas delivering lyrics with the tenacity of hungry teen who is looking for his first break. It's a vibe that Esco successful captured on his 2011 single "Nasty" as well.

If "The Don" and "Nasty" are any indication, Nas' 10th LP, Life is Good, is already shaping up to be one of the most-anticipated rap albums of the year. We're sure he will have plenty to say about his upcoming release as well as his career in retrospect.

Atlanta MC Killer Mike will also be stopping by the "RapFix" set this week. Killa Kill made his rap debut on OutKast's unforgettable 2000 album Stankonia and has since carved out a unique lane for his brand of street-laced, politically charged raps. Last year, Mike partnered with T.I.'s Grand Hustle label and dropped PL3DGE, the third album of his I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind series. Next up, Mike is partnering with former Company Flow MC/producer El-P to release their collaborative R.A.P. Music LP. The album's first single, "Big Beast," features Bun B, T.I. and Atlanta newcomer Trouble.

Catch Nas and Killer Mike on "RapFix Live" Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com, and be sure to join the Twitter conversation using the hashtags #RapFixLive. Send your questions for the artists to @MTVRapFiX!
