Celebrate the legacy of Nas with the vinyl release of It Was Written, his influential 1996 album. This polished follow-up to Illmatic showcases a cinematic soundscape, largely crafted by the Trackmasters with contributions from DJ Premier and Havoc. The album features standout tracks like the chart-topping “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)” featuring Ms. Lauryn Hill, the introspective “Street Dreams,” and the poignant “The Message.” With its lush production and thought-provoking lyrics, It Was Written solidified Nas’s statue as a lyrical genius and influenced countless artists.
