Enjoy some interview footage from the "Illmatic" era as a young Nas speaks on his accomplishments in Hip Hop thus far as an emerging MC who walked an uncertain path from the danger of the ghetto into dreams of a new life within the music industry. This Canadian Rap City footage from 1994 is courtesy of YouTube user Hias74.

As a nice musical addition to this 1994 footage which represents a classic Hip Hop album, enjoy the Jazz fusion sounds of Medline in his 2013 re-arrangement of "Smilin' Billy Suite" by the Heath Brothers, a song which was sampled for Nas's "One Love". This magical composition adds an additional dose of energy to the original as Medline plays with the arrangement to keep it exciting all the way through with a mixture of spacey Rhodes, synths, busy percussion and smooth flute sounds.

From Medline's album "People Make The World Go Round" now available to stream and purchase at Bandcamp.
