This is a vinyl LP pressing of 'Illmatic', the debut studio album by American rapper Nas, released in April 1994. Widely regarded as one of the best hip - hop albums of the '90s, 'Illmatic' is a timeless classic that solidified Nas' reputation.

Using this vinyl record is easy. First, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Place the record gently on the turntable, and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the starting groove. To get the best sound, keep your turntable on a stable surface. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches on the playing surface. After each use, put the record back in its sleeve carefully. Store it in a cool, dry place, standing upright to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl record cleaner and a soft brush to clean it gently.
