A 12-inch album cut that combines Nas' lyricism and hardness.
This 12-inch record contains tracks from the album "Nastradamus." Each track was produced by LES and Havoc, and represents the polar opposites of late '90s hip-hop.
The A-side, "Nastradamus," produced by LES, features a classic East Coast sound, sampling a James Brown break. Nas' confident flow and introspective lyrics resonate. The B-side, "Shoot 'Em Up," features a hardcore beat produced by Mobb Deep's Havoc, creating a tense atmosphere. Released as a single from the album "Nastradamus," it symbolizes the dual nature of New York hip-hop at the time. This is a seminal work from the late '90s, fusing lyrical virtuosity with street sensibilities.
