Illmatic (CD)

Ten tracks. Five producers. One borough. Released in April 1994, Illmatic set the standard for what a New York rap debut could be. Q-Tip, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Large Professor, and L.E.S. each brought a side of Queens that Nas rendered with a clarity no one else could match. Nothing before it sounded like it. The entry point for any serious collection.
