Nas Has Big Plans For 20th Anniversary of 'Illmatic'
. On April 15, Nas will release Illmatic XX, which includes a remastered edition of the original album, along with a disc of rarities that includes a previously unreleased radio freestyle from 1993 and a remix of "It Ain't Hard To Tell (The Stink Mix)," which is streaming via Rap Genius. Fans will also be able to get the special edition LP on vinyl. Nas will also be hitting the road later this year to play Illmatic from front to back for a handful of performances that will include a stop at this year's Coachella.

Directed by One9 and Erik Parker (a former Radio.com staffer), the doc will delve into the making of the now classic album, the social conditions that created it and the role Nas' Mississippi-born father and celebrated jazz musician, Olu Dara played in his music. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
