Comprised of tracks made during especially prolific recording sessions for the classic albums I Am and Stillmatic, these songs are famous for never having been officially released. Mainly heard on select underground mixtapes, fans have tried to collect these songs one by one for their own Nas anthologies.

In appreciation of the immense love and interest shown by the fans, Nas, Ill Will & Columbia Records meet the incredible street demand by releasing The Lost Tapes. Now available for the first time ever are all the mastered, completed songs as Nas had intended.

Hooked this up with some authorization lovin.. gonna have to check it out myself

This is long overdue. It'll be nice to hear a couple of songs that should've made the American version of Stillmatic. Songs like Doo Rags, Worst Enemy, and One Plus One should be nice as high quality cuts. Even though I probably have every songs that might be on there I'm still thinking of copping this. Just a holdover til Nas's new material comes out on my birthday (unless it get pushed back)

Damn, we r talking about one of the best hip hop artist in the whole music industry history. I heard he is rapper with Murder INC.

hmmmm... nah, heard that this song and his new stuff dropping on november is still with columbia so I doubt it. That's just speculation surrounding The Pledge remix joint. I just hope that if that were to fall through it wouldn't mess with his style much
