OutKast's debut album shows one of the most distinctive production sounds in the '90s: part hip-hop; part live, Southern-fried guitar licks and booty-thick bass runs; and part lazy, early-'70s soul. (180g.)
Illmatic is the crown jewel of the mid-90s classics that still define the genre. Unlike Biggies Ready to Die or Jay-Zs Reasonable Doubt, Illmatic was the game-changer that forever transformed the landscape of East Coast hip-hop.
Deluxe four vinyl LP pressing. 25th Anniversary Edition includes the original album plus the Instrumentals which are being released commercially for the first time.
