At the age of nineteen, Nasir ? Nas" Jones began recording tracks for his debut album? and changed the music world forever.

Glaude, Jr., and many others to confront Illmatic song by song, with each scholar assessing an individual track from the album. The result is a brilliant engagement with and commentary upon one of the most incisive sets of songs ever laid down on wax. |
