💿 DESCRIPTION

Original 1999 U.S. Columbia cassette release of Nastradamus, Nas’s fourth studio album — the follow-up to I Am…. Issued simultaneously on CD (CK 63930) and cassette (CT 63930), it was pressed and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment Inc., New York.
The front cover shows Nas in a hooded brown jacket with reflective highlights, while the back features a profile photo of Nas in prayer pose and printed credits. The hype sticker on the front advertises the singles “Nastradamus,” “New World,” and “Project Windows.”

This edition was released under the joint Ill Will Records / Columbia partnership, complete with the early 2000s Columbia bar-coded j-card layout. Text is printed in gothic serif fonts, and the tracklist appears vertically aligned across both panels — typical of Columbia’s late-90s cassette presentation.
