Since the release of the landmark Illmatic in 1994, Nas has proven himself to be one of hip-hop's most potent, durable, and abiding forces. 1999's Nastradamus served as the rapper's fourth of eight consecutive platinum and multi-platinum albums. Issued on the cusp of the millennium, it finds Nas waxing poetic about the future and spirituality bolstered by beats from the likes of DJ Premier, Havoc, Timbaland, L.E.S., Dame Grease and Rich Nice. Home to the singles "Nastradamus" and "You Owe Me."
