Nas just annouced that he will be re-releasing his first album renamed “Illmatic XX”. His album Illmatic that made him iconic will be released as a special 20th Anniversary Edition featuring remixes, unreleased demos, and freestyles. It will be releasing on April 15th.
“With Illmatic, I didn’t think about it. I just did it. I believe everybody has good instincts. Now I’m a man from that past and I’m supremely grateful. There’s a Nigerian proverb ‘What is past is prologue’. I’m here today because of Illmatic.” – Nas
