Intially didn't plan on doing another one but the people requested it. More gems from Nas, clear and uncut. Drops late May, early June. Let me know in the comments if there are any other joints you want to see added.

Finally, after over 25 years, I present: Nas - Take it in Blood Pt. 2 (No DJ, Mastered - Previously Unreleased). This is for all my Nas fans who thought they'd never get a clear version. https://t.co/pl1viiHl8X
Cooking up the cleanest version of Nas "Take it in Blood pt 2" the internet has ever heard. Basically drop free, almost CDQ quality. No more NON STOP! shouted throughout the song. Stay tuned 💯🔥
February 1991 Source Magazine featuring EPMD along with @DJScratch who as the article described his abilities as, "unmatched by any DJ coming out on an album today. "Business As Usual" would be their debut album on Def Jam. Words by Chris Wilder.
Classic throwback freestyle from @RansomPLS over the Platinum Plus beat produced by DJ Premier. Ran sent me this joint about 15 years ago. That's how you rap things into existence: the much anticipated Ransom × DJ Premier collab album, The Reinvention out October 31st.
August 1996 Source cover featuring Nas. The byline today could read "Nas, leader of the legends school," considering the unprecedented run the man has been on and what he's been doing for the culture. Feature story by Chris Ex. I bought this from Tower Records back in the day.
That "too old to rap" topic should never ever come up again when discussing rap music. You never heard that type of thinking applied to any other music genre. Our rap legends have been showing out, and I've been feeling proud asf.
Way back from 1988, some vintage pages from Organized Ryhme Magazine. This Philadelphia based publication was known for its 11" x 14" pages, with large photos complete with profiles of the popular rap artists of that decade. It's pretty rare to find these days.
