Digital custom action figure representation of “Illmatic”, an album that never missed an appearance on every single ‘greatest rap albums of all time’ lists made by anyone ever.
Released in 1994 when Nas was only 20 years old, “Illmatic” would become one of the most influential hip hop album of all time due to its ill production and Nas lyricism. He experimented with narrative storytelling in his rap, with complex rhyme patterns, clever wordplay, multi syllabic rhyme, and internal half rhyme that took the art of rapping to previously unprecedented heights. Widely regarded as a front runner that spearheaded the revival of New York City rap scene, Nas poetically use his first-person Queensbridge crime saga as a showcase for his mastery of technical precision which many rappers would later come to adopt. The fact that the album’s beats were produced by East Coast heavyweights DJ Premier, Large Professor, Pete Rock, Q-Tip and L.E.S is the cherry on top.
