Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "Her flow has the freewheeling energy of the battle freestyle, and often forgoes narrative in favour of a stream of boastful non-sequiturs about Mortal Kombat and Blue's Clues, but, through sheer force of charisma, her blunt edges still cause major damage." [10] Writing for Noisey , Robert Christgau gave the album a grade of "A", calling Princess Nokia "the most complete New Yorker to hit hip-hop since Heems if not Nas." [15]

The son of jazz musician Olu Dara, Nas began his musical career in 1989 under the moniker "Nasty Nas", and recorded demos for fellow East Coast rapper Large Professor. He was later featured on the 1991 song "Live at the Barbeque" by his group, Main Source.
Stillmatic is the fifth studio album by American rapper Nas, released on December 18, 2001, by Ill Will and Columbia Records.
