Nastradamus is Nas in 1999 shaking off expectations, a quick-turnaround follow-up issued as this manufactured-on-demand CD edition for fans who want the full catalogue on the shelf.

It landed only months after I Am..., at a time when the Queensbridge rapper was being pulled between the street poet of his debut and the radio star his label wanted. Critics were tough on it at the time, but the album has picked up a loyal following in the years since, and it's a fascinating listen in its own right.

The title track brings the prophetic swagger, Nas casting himself as a seer with a gold chain and a grim view of the future. "Project Windows," with Ronald Isley lending his velvet voice to the hook, is one of the album's quiet highlights, a reflective look at what Nas saw growing up. "You Owe Me" with Ginuwine went straight for the R&B charts, while "Family" reunites him with Queensbridge neighbours Mobb Deep for a darker, grittier turn.

Fifteen tracks give a full picture of where his head was at the end of the decade.

It may not be the Nas album everyone names first, but it's a vital piece of the story, and a better album than its reputation suggests.
