Following the recent trend of old Hip-Hop albums being expanded, Nas returns to his sophomore classic, and commercially best-selling album It Was Written for it’s 25th anniversary, with a black-and-white rendition of the original cover. Included in the release are two bonus tracks: “Silent Murder”, which was only available on the cassette version of the album and not the CD, as well as a Bonus Verse version of “Street Dreams”, featuring a previously-unheard verse that replaces Nas' third on the original song
