On April 19, 1994, one Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones dropped a bombshell on the hip-hop scene with his debut album 'Illmatic'. Today, it remains at the top of lists of ābest ever hip-hop albumsā, and his distinctive juicy beats, clever lyrics, and unparalleled flow landed Nas second place in the āTop 50 Lyricists of All Timeā poll by leading hip-hop magazine The Source. He came just behind Rakim, but ahead of big names like The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, and Tupac!
Eleven albums later (be sure to check out the classics āIt Was Writtenā, āNastradamusā, āStillmaticā, and āGodās Sonā), Nas is back with 'Life is Good', another instant favourite with fans and critics alike. And life really is good, as Pitchfork's review placed it in the 'Best New Music' category, and the album received huge praise from both the NME and BBC Music. Quotes such as āThe man is just on fire throughout the albumā and āNas doing exactly what he does bestā leave us in no doubt whatsoever that ghetto poet Nas is well and truly back.
In 2011, according to Belgian newspaper De Morgen, Nas, along with Damian āJr. Gongā Marley, hosted "an exhilarating party full of retro, reggae, and rap" in a packed AB. The two gentlemen were given four stars for this perfect marriage of reggae and rap. And Nas, solo, is here again, ready for more stars, so have your earplugs at the ready ā on his last visit his "immaculate flows" were encouraged by the deafening roar of an audience screaming for more. "The audience sailed past the 112 dB mark, peaking at 115", wrote De Standaard. Not bad, but we think you can do better...
