This ‘best rapper of all time’ pulls 6,600 fans a night. His Boise show will be way smaller.

Seeing a big-name act in a smaller-than-normal venue can provide a unique, gratifying concert experience.

So Nas fans in Boise should be in for a treat.

The veteran MC — named the No. 5 “best rapper of all time” by Billboard — will perform Sunday, Aug. 18, at the Revolution Concert House and Event Center in Garden City. It’s one of three new concerts announced this morning by the 2,200-capacity venue. (More on the other two in a sec.)

The Revolution Concert House is an unusually small room for Nas, whose 1994 debut album, “Illmatic,” is widely considered a hip-hop classic. During his last 20 headlining concerts, Nas played for an average of 6,634 fans, according to box-office reports at Pollstar. He’s sold 30 million albums. He’s known for a high-profile feud in the early 2000s with fellow East Coast titan Jay-Z. Currently, Nas is playing arenas on a co-headlining tour with Mary J Blige in major cities. The more intimate Idaho show will be a one-off.
