NAS - It Was Written (Gold / Black Vinyl)

Columbia - 19658828851

Now available as a 2LP Gold & Black Marbled Vinyl exclusive to National Album Day.

It Was Written is the second studio album by American rapper Nas, originally released on July 2, 1996, by Columbia Records.

After the modest commercial success of his debut album Illmatic (1994), Nas pursued a more polished, mainstream sound for It was Written.

Produced largely by Trackmasters, it departed from the debut's raw, underground aesthetic and embraced mafioso and gangsta themes. The recording also marked the first appearance of Nas's short-lived supergroup The Firm, featuring the rappers Foxy Brown, AZ, and Cormega.
