nas - illmatic (1lp/ limiited edition/ reissue/ red transparent)

Widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, Illmatic is Nas’ stunning debut—crafted when he was just 20 years old. With production from DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and Q-Tip, the album blends poetic street realism with jazzy, boom-bap beats. Tracks like “N.Y.

State of Mind,” “The World Is Yours,” and “One Love” showcase Nas’ intricate lyricism and vivid storytelling. This limited edition red transparent reissue preserves the timeless brilliance of a record that set a new benchmark for rap in the ’90s and beyond. Illmatic isn’t just a classic—it’s foundational.
