This is really the week of unreleased leaks. For any casual Nas fans (do those exist?), a recently posted stream of pre-Illmatic material will provide you with eleven high quality early demos. A majority of the tracks previously were collected on Nasty Nas (The Original 1991 Demo Tape) There are songs produced by homie Large Professor and appearances by hip hop heavyweights Biz Markie and Kool G. Rap. While his first LP is considered one of the finest debuts in rap, it's still illuminating to hear him pumping out gems at an even younger age. Check out the tracklist and album stream below.
