Nas is a legendary rapper and songwriter known for his thought-provoking lyrics and storytelling abilities. Born in New York City, Nas rose to prominence in the 1990s with his debut album "Illmatic," which is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. With his smooth delivery and insightful verses, Nas has consistently delivered impactful music throughout his career. His discography includes hit songs like "N.Y. State of Mind" and "One Mic." A true icon in the rap industry, Nas continues to inspire artists and fans alike with his unique style and powerful messages.

Nas has had a career of generally consistent excellence, punctuated with a few lulls. He's an incredibly skilled rapper sometimes accused of having a tin ear when it comes to choosing beats – especially on albums (and the entirety of 'Illmatic' aside, obviously). Made You Look was a shot in the arm for Nas at a time when he'd shed some of his core, street fanbase. After the unfocussed Nastradamus and I Am… albums he'd had a return to some kind of form with Stillmatic, but many felt he came off second best in the ensuing battle with Jay Z.

This single, a club and street classic almost from the moment it dropped, is exactly what he needed to reconnect with his fans and to show he could still throw down.
