Our Take

Album Review: NAS - Illmatic

Nasir Jones, better known as Nas, burst onto the music scene with his debut album, Illmatic. Hailing from the mean streets of Queens, New York, Nas brings a raw and unapologetic energy to his music that is impossible to ignore. From the haunting beats to the gritty lyrics, Illmatic encapsulates the essence of 90s East Coast hip-hop.

On Illmatic, Nas takes listeners on a journey through his life, recounting tales of street life, poverty, and the struggle to make it out of the hood. Tracks like "N.Y. State of Mind" and "Life's a B***h" showcase Nas' lyrical prowess and storytelling ability, painting vivid pictures of life in the projects.

The production on Illmatic is top-notch, with beats that hit hard and samples that add depth and texture to the tracks. Producers like DJ Premier and Large Professor bring their A-game, creating a sonic landscape that perfectly complements Nas' hard-hitting lyrics.

Overall, Illmatic is a classic album that has stood the test of time. Nas' raw talent and powerful storytelling make this album a must-listen for any hip-hop fan. If you haven't already experienced the magic of Illmatic, do yourself a favor and give it a listen. You won't be disappointed.
