Description
It Was Written is the second studio album by American rapper Nas, originally released
on July 2, 1996, by Columbia Records. After the modest commercial success of his
debut album Illmatic (1994), Nas pursued a more polished, mainstream sound for It
Was Written. Produced largely by Trackmasters, it departed from the debut's raw,
underground aesthetic and embraced mafioso and gangsta themes. The recording also
marked the first appearance of Nas's short-lived supergroup The Firm, featuring the
rappers Foxy Brown, AZ, and Cormega.
