    The sample is from The Gap Band “Yearning for your Love” Also the trumpet playing at the end is Nas’s father

      Possibly true and Nas followed it with his verse. I think its the best song ever. Flawless. Close your eyes and your in the projects.

    AZ is an amazing artist! The Essence is another great AZ & Nas collaboration that’s worth checking out. They have recorded a lot of great songs together throughout the years. AZ also has a great solo catalog. The Come Up, Never Change, Sugar Hill just to name a few tracks.

    AZs -95 album Doe Or Die is also a straight up classic 5/5 album with hits after hits. Pete Rock and LES produced some tracks (LES also produced this Life's a Bitch for Nas). The album also has a Nas ft on Mo Money, Mo Murder but the whole album is a stand alone. Definetly need to listen to it if you're feeling on Illmatic, bro!
