Nas (Performer) Format: Vinyl LEGACY Illmatic [ Clear VINYL].

Vinyl LP pressing. Illmatic is the debut studio album by American rapper Nas, released in April 1994. Often cited as one of the best hiphop albums of the 90s, Illmatic is the undisputed classic upon which Nas reputation rests. It helped spearhead the artistic renaissance of New York hiphop in the postChronic era, leading a return to street aesthetics. Hiphop fans accustomed to 73minute opuses sometimes complain about Illmatics brevity, but even if it leaves you wanting more, its also one of the few 90s rap albums with absolutely no wasted space. Illmatic reveals a great lyricist in top form meeting great production, and it remains a perennial favorite among serious hiphop fans.
