[Linda Carbone]

Hello!

Nas has released Illmatic XX today. The collection celebrates the anniversary of his iconic debut album Illmatic.

More details on the release can be found below … please let us know if you would like music!


NAS * Illmatic XX (SONY Legacy)

[NAS-ILLMATIC-2014-orange LR.JPG]Illmatic XX, the 20th anniversary celebration of the landmark album that made Nas an icon, is out today via SONY Legacy.  This exclusive collection features several rare remixes, unreleased demos and freestyles to commemorate the anniversary. The New York Times called the release “a densely textured, deeply lyrical portrait of life in Long Island City’s Queensbridge projects [that] signaled the resurgence of the moribund New York hip-hop scene and helped pave the way for Biggie Smalls, Jay-Z and a new generation of New York rappers.”

In addition, Nas will participate in a series of online events TODAY to celebrate the 20th Anniversary. The events include a Huffington Post Live segment, Reddit "Ask Me Anything", Twitter chat and GoogleTalks chat. An overview of each event and a schedule is included below.

In conjunction with the release, Time Is Illmatic – a feature length documentary film that examines the album – will open the Tribeca Film Festival tomorrow night. The movie delves into the making of Illmatic; the social conditions that created it; and the music legacy passed down from Nas’ Mississippi-born father and celebrated jazz musician, Olu Dara.
