In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of his seminal debut album “Illmatic,” Nas is inviting fans to collaborate and produce a new music video for “Represent,” an influential track off of the classic release.
One winner will be invited to collaborate alongside Nas and Mass Appeal’s own Jason Goldwatch, who will help bring their video vision to life. The final music video, and a behind-the-scenes video will be premiered on Mass Appeal as well as on the Maker Music YouTube Channels (youtube.com/makermusic). The winner will have the unique distinction of being a part of Illmatic’s illustrious history, one of the most legendary hip-hop albums ever created.
Nas’ seminal debut album, “Illmatic,” has been released as a special 20th Anniversary Edition, titled “Illmatic XX” by SONY Legacy. This exclusive collection will feature several rare remixes, unreleased demos and freestyles to commemorate the anniversary.
“With ‘Illmatic,’ I didn’t think about it. I just did it. I believe everybody has good instincts. Now I’m a man from that past and I’m supremely grateful. There’s a Nigerian proverb ‘What is past is prologue’. I’m here today because of ‘Illmatic,'” said Nas.
