Illmatic: Vinyl LP

This black vinyl LP comes with a full lyric insert, a poster, and a recreation of the original press release. Backed by an all - star lineup of New York's top producers like Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, Q - Tip, and a young L.E.S., the album is a non - stop masterpiece. Nas, at 20 years old, stood on the shoulders of his predecessors and boldly declared, 'Don't mess with the east, we are back'. 'Illmatic' was a slow - burner. Even with a rare '5 mics' rating in The Source, it didn't go gold until early 1996 and hit platinum in late 2001. It's lyrically rich and a must - have for hip - hop fans.

To use this vinyl LP, simply place it on a record player. Make sure the player is clean and in good working condition. When handling the record, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. After each use, return the LP to its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright to prevent warping. Enjoy this classic hip - hop album on repeat!
