Nas: “Death Certificate is one of the albums that changed my life along with Down By Law, Criminal Minded and a few others. Death Certificatehit me at a time when I was hustling, when I was hanging with hustlers, when I was making life-changing decisions in my life. Death Certificatespoke to me. To this day, it’s one of the boldest, bravest, realest rap albums that will ever be made.”
