One Love
Released as the fifth and final single from Nas's debut album Illmatic in October 1994, this Q-Tip-produced track is composed as a series of letters from Nas to his incarcerated friends. The song samples the Heath Brothers' "Smilin' Billy Suite Part II" and Parliament's "Come In Out of the Rain," and was named the forty-eighth greatest hip hop song by VH1 in 2008.
