Following his show-stealing debut in 1991 on Main Source’s track “Live at the Barbeque,” Nas delivered his debut album Illmatic to high praise in 1994. The title was derived from a Queensbridge individual named Illmatic Ice, with “illmatic” being an adjective used to describe something extraordinary. Illmatic had an all-star lineup of East Coast producers; Large Professor, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, and L.E.S.
