Nigerian producer Black Intelligence displays some deep resourcefulness on his short tribute to Nas;one of the greatest lyricist Hip-Hop ever gave us. The 9 track project aptly titled Time Is Illmatic collates tracks from Illmatic, Gods Son, Stillmatic and Lost Tapes (My favorite Nas project).

short and impressive to say the least, his boom bap foundations stay solid throughout the project and the layered sampling technique ties everything together.

Hit the play button and give this a spin.
This project is a collection of Nas remixes produced and compiled by Nigerian hip hop producer Black Intelligence with the intention of creating a genuine laid back soundscape throughout the entire album. Consisting of 9 remixes in total with the originals spread across several albums in Nas’ catalogue (Illmatic, I Am, The Lost Tapes, Stillmatic, God’s Son) this hybrid project brings together the best of classic Nas rhymes over unique soul and jazzy hip hop beats by Black Intelligence. It’ll be fun trying to guess the samples used in the creation of Time is Illmatic. Enjoy.
