For those who may have forgotten (or were just unaware), Nas’ classic debut album, Illmatic, will be turning 20 years old in April. It’s been announced that the Queens MC will be celebrating the anniversary with an entire orchestra at his disposal.

Nas will be heading to Washington D.C.’s John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to take part in their One Mic: Hip Hop Culture Worldwide, a week-long celebration. The tribute will take place on March 28-29. Nas also hinted that he was interested in re-releasing Illmatic when he spoke to the Huffington Post.

“I think we’re going to do something with the album and repackage it with special stuff,” he said. “I think that’s in the works.”
