What are some illmatic era, pre-IWW nasty Nas unreleased jawns?

Nas Will prevail
Life’s a dive game
Represent OG
Deja vu

I know I’m forgetting plenty
Life's Is Like a Dice Game and Deja Vu are post Illmatic, pre Steve Stout era records.

I'm a Villain
Number One With a Bullet
Just Another Day In the Projects
Nas Will Prevail

I think those are the only ones.

Really looking for anything pre-IWW if you know any others. Nas will prevail is one of my favorite all time songs

My favorite era from Nas is between Illmatic and IWW. His flow was getting super buttery and he was still insanely technical. IWW is his peak for lyricism, but the pre-Steve Stoute work is that prime IWW flow with the Illmatic NY hardcore vibe.

Yeah, I don't see Nas compromising the quality of any record with a feature just for sales. It was easy identifying the weakest tracks on KD and KD2; they were always the features, so they cut them out.

KD they went with a lot of newer artists, KD2 was a mixed bag, KD3 had none and flowed better. Quality will stand the rest of time...hell Magic only had one feature lol
