Represent

About Represent

Represent is a significant track from Nas' acclaimed debut album Illmatic, released on April 19, 1994. The song features production by DJ Premier, who sampled Lee Erwin's "Thief of Baghdad". Interestingly, the album version is actually a remix of the original jazzier version, as Premier decided to update it after hearing other tracks like One Love and Life's a Bitch. The recording sessions were notably energetic, with Nas and his crew from Queensbridge creating a lively studio atmosphere. .
