Nas - Illmatic LP

Illmatic is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever recorded and a defining release of 1990s rap. Nas’ debut album delivers vivid storytelling and sharp lyricism, painting detailed pictures of life in New York City through intelligent wordplay and confident delivery.

The production features a lineup of influential producers, combining soulful samples, jazz-influenced beats and stripped-back rhythms that perfectly support Nas’ voice and flow. The balance of atmospheric instrumentals and focused songwriting gives the record a timeless sound that remains hugely influential.
