If you like rap in any way, you have got to know about Nas. Nas grew up in the Queensbridge Projects in Queens, New York. His love for music wasn't that surprising since his dad was a jazz musician (Olu Dara).

[1994] Illmatic *****

After creating a name for himself, Nas released Illmatic in 1994. The album is widely regarded as one of the best rap albums of all time. Production includes big names like DJ Premier, Q-Tip,... Arguably this album started a whole new phase of hip-hop.
It's hard to post only a few songs from this album, since they're all pretty iconic and timeless. But here are some of the most popular ones:

Nas - NY State of Mind



Nas - One Love

This song is actually letters his to friends from the neighborhood who are now in prison.
