There have been a ton of events, articles, and music released in honor of the 20th anniversary of Nas’ seminal album Illmatic. Adding to the sonic festivities, NahRight has joined up with UpNorthTrips to deliver The #Illmatic20 Tribute Mixtape, a compilation of Illmatic-inspired songs by a current crop of New York-area wordsmiths.
Several of New York’s current movers and shakers make an appearance on the mixtape, including Troy Ave., Smoke DZA, Denzil Porter and Bodega Bamz. With a couple standout tracks, the collection is an adequate representation of the variety of MCs from the region, without relying on recycling the same batch of usual Big Apple suspects.
Good to see artists that we have vehemently co-signed in the past represented on the project, including Shirt, YC The Cynic, Mr. Muthafukin Exquire, B.I.C. and The Incomparable Shakespeare.
Others making an appearance on the 14-track offering include Timeless Truth, Doley Bernays, Al Doe and Euro League.
