Nas "PreIllmatic" (1991-1994)


Gadc333 has released PreIllmatic on cassette and digital, which represents the years 1991-1994 and the the birth of Nasty Nas out of Queensbridge. According to the release info, PreIllmatic is Gadc333's third PreSeries volume. It features Nas' demos and alternate versions, freestyles, radio appearances and features recorded ahead of his classic debut album, Illmatic. The tape was made in Barcelona, Spain in 2020.
