Thirty tracks from one of hip-hop's greats.

Rightfully considered one of the greatest rappers of his generation, Nas released his debut album Illmatic to widespread critical acclaim in 1994 aged just 20 years old.

Even at such a fruitful time for hip hop, with the impact of rap music on younger generations marking a music industry powershift, the New York native stood out as one of the greatest songwriters of his or any generation. His second album It Was Written debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts and contained the hit single "If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)" a duet with Lauren Hill.

This 30 track double CD has gathered together some of his best works and highlights just what a complex lyricist he is.
