Natas is an American hip hop group from Detroit, Michigan. Their last studio album "N of tha World" was released in 2006 through Warlock/Sony Red. In 2009, they released the mixtape "The Vatican". Original members Esham and Mastamind are recording a reunion album according to Mastamind's official Facebook account. Esham met Mastamind as a student at Osborne High School, who gave him a three-song demo tape of his music, leading the two to form the group with Esham's longtime friend, T-N-T, deciding on the name Natas, an acronym for "Nation Ahead of Time And Space", because it was "Satan" spelled backwards. In 1992, Natas released Life After Death on Esham's Reel Life Productions. Following the release of this album, Esham and Reel Life Productions were the subject of much controversy when a 17-year-old fan killed himself while smoking cannabis and playing Russian roulette while listening to Life After Death. In 2002, Natas released its only charting album to date, which peaked at #35 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart, #45 on the Heatseekers chart and #56 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

This was the last album of new material recorded by the group, until FUQERRBDY. Recorded material was released in 2006 and 2009 on N of tha World and The Vatican. In 2013 it was announced on Mastamind's official Facebook account that a new Natas album has been planned and after the release of his next album "The Ultimate Price" they will begin recording the album with an expected 2014 release date; this was confirmed by Esham and than by Mastamind's label lyrikal Snuff Productionz. On December 8, 2013 once again via his official Facebook account, Mastamind announced that recording of the new Natas album was completed and was in the mixing stages. Esham and the official Natas Facebook confirmed that FUQERRBDY was to be released on July 15, 2014. On December 20, 2014, Natas member T-N-T was killed in a car accident. With the death of T-N-T, Natas broke up. Esham has said in his interview with Faygoluvers, for his 16th album Scribble, "There won't be another Natas album". Natas refers to its performance style as "acid rap," comparing the lyrics to hallucinations induced by LSD.

Acid rap has been described as a fusion of hip hop beats and death metal lyrics. Esham defined the genre as analogous to "modern day blues heavy metal". AllMusic writer Jason Birchmeier said that Mastamind's rapping "owes little to any conventional style". Natas is known for using live instrumentation, as well as for sample-based instrumentation which Allmusic compared to that of The Bomb Squad and Dr. Dre. Natas' lyrics focus on topics ranging from women and violence to spirituality, expressing self-reliance. Rappers influenced by Natas include Insane Clown Posse and Kid Rock.

His Guantanamo Internment Serial Number was 184. Othman was identified differently on official Saudi documents, he was identified as Othman Ahmed Othman Al Omairah on official lists of captives from April 2006, May 2006 and September 2007, on the memos that summarized the allegations against him.

Detainees whose Combatant Status Review Tribunal labeled them "enemy combatants" were scheduled for annual Administrative Review Board hearings.

A Summary of Evidence memo was prepared for Othman Ahmed Othman Al Omairah Administrative Review Board, on September 20, 2005; the memo listed factors against his continued detention. His memo was three pages long. There is no record that Othman Ahmad Othman al-Ghamdi chose to attend either his Combatant Status Review Tribunal or his Administrative Review Board hearing.

Al-Ghamdi was placed on the U. S. State Department's Rewards for Justice list on October 14, 2014. Al-Ghamdi was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in February 2015.

DSU is the fifth studio album by American musician Alex G, released on June 17, 2014, through Orchid Tapes. The title of the album is an acronym of Dream State University, it is derived from a comment Giannascoli's older sister, had made. He explained I was asking my sister what I should name the album and she gave me a bunch of names. One of them was Dream State, because I gave her all these songs to listen to and she said that they had a dreamy vibe. I thought, too cheesy, but I was joking around with the name Dream State University as a play on the whole State University thing that we have in America, we were both like'Oh! That's pretty funny, why don't we do that?' And I kinda bailed out at the last minute. I just thought it was such a lame fucking name. My sister had written DSU on the album cover and she was about to put Dream State University at the bottom but I was like'No! I hate that name, don't do it!' So in the end we just stuck with DSU and it worked out. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, DSU received an average score of 79, based on 13 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Samme Maine of Drowned in Sound wrote, "Alex G speaks a refreshing honesty, with an artistic flair that many before him have failed to master. It's careful yet effortless, passionate yet distant but above-all, wholly unique." NME's Ben Homewood stated that the album "skillfully combines Neil Young's dusty American songcraft with scratchy lo-fi and wandering electronic influences." Dean Essner of Consequence of Sound said, "At its best, DSU cycles through that duality with aplomb, which will serve as an excellent introduction to his gigantic discography for all new fans." Clash's Mat Smith stated that the album "is enduring evidence that the purest, most interesting music comes without hefty production or marketing budgets." Rolling Stone critic Simon Vozick-Levinson said, "The more you listen, the more obvious it is that Alex G is a bright new talent in his own right." All tracks are written by Alexander Giannascoli.
