April 19, 1994, will go down in hip-hop history.
Nas dropped his debut album Illmatic on that day, it's still ranked as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.
The 39-minute and 51-second, 10-track album was celebrated today on social media by AZ, Erykah Badu and Nas himself.
You can’t rewrite history.. 25 years is a milestone that should not be over looked., our camaraderie was never about competition but more of complimenting one another., - We sketched our name in the culture for eternity.,
