NAS – ILLMATIC – 20TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE
2014-02-03Illmatic XX will be a double-disc edition, containing a remastered version of the original LP plus exclusive remixes of the tracks, an unreleased track “I’m A Villain” and a never-before-heard freestyle on The Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show circa ’93.
In addition to Illmatic XX, Nas also plans to drop a documentary later this year Time Is Illmatic, which details the makings of the great album, “the social conditions that created it; and the music legacy passed down from Nas’ Mississippi-born father and celebrated jazz musician, Olu Dara.” He also has a nationwide tour in the works performing Illmatic as a whole, kicking off this Spring at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and at Coachella Festival.
