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.
In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 is Jay-z's second studio album. The star studded album features guest appearances by Foxy Brown, Babyface, Blackstreet, Teddy Riley, Too $hort, Lil' Kim, and Puff Daddy.
