Illmatic (30th Anniversary Edition) (6x7" box set + booklet)
Cat: GET 560557. Rel: 16 Sep 24
Hip Hop/R&B
Life's A Bitch (Arsenal mix)
Review: Thirty years ago on April 19, 1994, Nasir "Nas" Jones dropped 'Illmatic' the big dog in the G.O.A.T. conversation. The ten tracks were all gas no brakes, Nas not only standing on the shoulders of giants but building off the storied East Coast legacy and paving the way for three decades of greatness. There is nothing I can say about Illmatic that hasn't been deservingly said, and it's well worth it's place in not just the hip-hop hall of fame, but music history as an entirety. In celebration this brand new package is rammed with goods - the box set contains the full original album plus two remixes on six big-hole 7" black vinyl records housed in a custom hardbound case including a 64-page book of extended liner notes by Sacha Jenkins, complete with lyrics, photos, promotional release materials and more. All stored in an outer slipcase, featuring the iconic album art printed in gold. For hardcore 'Illmatic' ride-or-dies, this is the ultimate collection.

Review: He will probably always be best known for laying down one of hip-hop's greatest ever albums with Illmatic, but right now he is certainly back in some fine form. He is prolific, too, with three new albums dropping in quick succession, all of them proving he has tapped into some new and rewarding creative reserves. He explores it all here form classic boom bap to Atlanta and Memphis-inspired rhythms with guests like Lil Wayne hoeing him get back to something like his best - not bad given this landed on September 14, 2023 through Mass Appeal Records, on his 50th birthday.

Magic 2 (limited coloured vinyl LP + insert with obi-strip)
Cat: MSAL 160A1. Rel: 22 Dec 23
Hip Hop/R&B
Review: Nas is riding high on a renewed wave of recognition and relevance in the rap game through these collaborations with Hit-Boy, which have been flying out at a rate of knots since King's Disease in 2020. If the pair sometimes revert to classic boom-bap in the style Was originally found fame with, on Magic 2 they're also testing limits with some Atlanta and Memphis-inspired rhythms that show the NYC veteran to be hungry for new challenges and more than able to step up to them. Just sit for a minute with 'Abracadabra' and you'll hear everything you need to know about the new tricks Nas can fold into his inimitable flow.

Review: New Yorker Has is a hip-hop behemoth who will always be associated with his untouchable Illmatic album, but he has also penned plenty of other words that are almost as good. One of them is I Am: The Autobiography, which they say might be the greatest album never released. It is a connect double album that was originally meant to follow up Illmatic and It Was Written and it follows a superb plot line from the moment he is born during the intro to his death in the outro. The second half of the album then sees him reincarnated but before any of this saw the light of day in an official capacity it was leaked and bootlegged back when the internet was still young and infamous for these things. Now after all these years it finally gets the proper vinyl drop it needs.

The Lost Tapes (reissue) (limited numbered gatefold purple swirl & smokey vinyl 2xLP with obi-strip)
Cat: GET 51474. Rel: 18 Sep 23
Hip Hop/R&B
Review: You will not be surprised to learn that the last issue of this earlier in summer sold out almost instantly so Sony has done there right thing and reissued it also straight away. It is a 2002 compilation album by the legendary rapper that arrived a year after the game-changing wordsmiths come back. It includes several tracks that were unreleased at the time having been culled from recording sessions done during Nas's previous studio albums I Am... in 1999 and Stillmatic in 2001. Sparse, lo-fi beats are detailed with observational lyrics about urban life. Nostalgic and personal and a bit of a departure from his usual style, they still bite pretty hard.

Review: The Lost Tapes arrived in 2002 and is a compilation album by the legendary American rapper Nas. It came a year after the game-changing wordsmiths come back so was an attempt by his label to cash in. The tracklist includes several tracks that were unreleased at the time having been culled from recording sessions done during Nas's previous studio albums I Am... in 1999 and Stillmatic in 2001. Spsrse, lo-fi beats are detailed with observational lyrics about urban life and as they are nostalgic and quite personal they rather depart from his style on previous records.

Review: A whole bunch of Nas singles are being reissued on 7" courtesy of Mass Appeal at the moment, and each one is as essential now as it was when it first arrived. This one is slightly different as 'Life is like a Dice Game' was a demo and one of the firm fan favourites from the legendary New York mic man, taken from his undeniably best period - the Illmatic era. Now 30 years old, it gets revisited and completed properly with Freddie Gibbs and Cordae, who were 11 years old and not born when the track was initially recorded in 1993. The unfinished original version leaked in 1995 so to finally have it officially completed is epic.

Magic Instrumentals (yellow vinyl LP with obi-strip in spot-varnished sleeve)
Cat: MSAP 114. Rel: 18 May 23
Hip Hop/R&B
Review: Mass Appeal are busy putting on a mix of Nas reissues and newly finished versions of demos that have reminded us just how great the legendary New York rapper really has been over his storied career. This time out they are reissuing a full instrumental version of his 15th studio album Magic. It arrives on highlighter yellow coloured vinyl and even without all the brilliant bars from Nas, the beats here are top drawer from 'Wu For The Children' to 'Meet Joe Black' via 'Wave Gods.' Another crucial one for the collection of any hip-hop head.

Review: US rap royalty Nas's 'Ultra Black' features producer Hit-Boy and was released in mid-summer 2020 as the lead single from his thirteenth album, King's Disease. Lyrically, Nas pays homage to all things Black as he draws on his black heritage and African-American culture while the beats remain deeply laidback with jazzy chords up top. In an interview at the time with NME, the rapper said the song "represents love" although some interpreted the lyrics as a diss towards singer and rapper Doja Cat. This 7" features the vocal version and an instrumental.

Review: Many years after its release, Illmatic still remains a gold standard hip hop album and one of the most accomplished debuts ever recorded. It's the multi-syllabic internal rhymes of Nas, the tales he tells of life in the Queensbrudge suburbs of New York and the lexicon he uses which makes it resonate through the ages. Of course, the production (taken care fo by Bas as well as DJ Premier, Large Professor, Pete Rock and Q-Tip) and wealth of samples also elevates each tune to a higher plane that few have ever matched since. Including Nas himself, frankly. The album is widely regarded as one of greatest and most influential hip hop albums of all time, so don't sleep on this latest vinyl issue.

God's Son (Record Store Day 2020) (limited blue marbled vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: GET 51445LP. Rel: 12 Oct 20
Hip Hop/R&B
Review: God's Son was recorded in 2001 and 2002 and went on to be the New York hip hop icon's sixth studio album. The record was partly produced by Eminem, partly inspired by Nas's on going beef with Jay-Z, and also the death of his mother. As such violence, religion and stark emotional experiences all colour the lyrics and have led to the record being thought of as one of his most personal and honest. Just a month after it was released, the album was certified Platinum for shifting more than a million copies. It kicks off with one of James Brown's most iconic beats of all paired with some smooth flow from Nas, and the quality never dips from there.

Review: Nas's 2002 album God's Sun is not his most iconic, but it still spawned some essential singles Chief amongst them is 'Made You Look', built around samples from Incredible Bongo Band's 'Apache.' The tune really established him in his ongoing battle with Jay Z and like all his work it displays intricate lyricism and old school boom bap beats. The free-associative rhymes touch on an array of themes that cover a wide span from hype to legacy, partying and chest beating self congratulation. The flip includes an instrumental that is not explicit like the original, so lacks some of the things that make it so raw.

Review: First featured on Nas' peerless 1994 album "Illmatic" - a classic that really should be in your collection - "The World Is Yours" is a classic Pete Rock production that has never appeared on a seven-inch single before. Mr Bongo has decided to set the record straight, pairing the album version, which includes some of Nas' most potent lyrics, delivered in fine style as you'd expect, with an instrumental take that showcases Pete Rock's brilliant beat and tight, on-point scratches. It's a deliciously baggy beat all told, with sampled pianos and subtle jazz lifts combining cannily to create a suitably laidback, golden-era groove.
