Nas - Illmatic

delasoul_400x400.jpg

Every day on the show this week, I'll be bringing you bonafide Hip Hop classics on fast forward to warm you up for this weekend's 30 years of Hip Hop celebrations on 1Xtra & Radio 1 with the Minipieces (mini masterpieces - geddit?). We're tackling an album per decade per day - Tuesday is the 90's and Nas' highly influential 'Illmatic' reps for the decade.

'Illmatic' is the embodiment of 90's New York Hip Hop. Boasting a producer credit list full of legends (DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Q Tip, Large Professor...), this set the bar to which all other New York Hip Hop albums were and still are measured against. Tomorrow, the naughties and Kanye West's "College Dropout" does the business!
