With his expansive catalog not only serving as a soundtrack to much of my life but, forever tied to some of the fondest memories I have as a youth coming of age. Plain and simple I love the man’s music, I’ve been a fan since I was a pre-teen and literally grew up and came of age listening to his music. I own a copy of every official Nas release ever dropped (including The Lost Tapes, Distant Relatives with Damien Marley and the 20th-anniversary special edition of Illmatic as well as copies of the first edition on both vinyl and cassette).

Author’s Note: To be completely forthcoming and transparent before diving into this review I want to acknowledge the fact that I am for lack of a better term a Nas Stan.
