Nas

Be a part of hip hop history as this legend plays Illmatic in full.

Overview

For the uninitiated, Nas’s debut album Illmatic is widely regarded as his magnum opus, if not one of the best rap albums ever created. Songs like ‘Halftime’, ‘It Ain’t Hard To Tell’, and ‘New York State Of Mind’ are both ageless and highly representative of their time. In other words: it’s gold. To celebrate the record’s 20th anniversary, Nas has been touring Illmatic, playing it start to finish, all over the world. Now, it’s Australia’s turn.

Nas will be headlining Sugar Mountain Festival in Melbourne, but also playing solo shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Perth. As well as tearing through Illmatic, he'll be performing a few other hits from the records that followed. While Illimatic may have been groundbreaking, the albums after that certainly weren’t shabby either, and this is a rare chance to relive something truly great in hip-hop history. If you want to go to there, we recommend snapping up some tickets quick-smart. Don’t sleep (cause sleep is the cousin of death).
