The Flashback Fridays #1 For 4/19/19 (Special Illmatic 25th Anniversary): NAS - N.Y. State Of Mind (1994)

It’s the special silver anniversary of one of music all-time debuts, from a Queensbridge savant that didn’t just include him, but also put some of QB’s finest collection of talent together ever in AZ & L.E.S, along with the rest of the city in Pete Rock, Large Professor & AZ producing.

And after “The Genesis” intro with AZ & Fab 5 Freedy, sir Nasir Jones set the tone for this timeless classic celebrated on this Good Friday with a “New York State of Mind.”
