Nas & Queensbridge Cannabis Culture — Silk Road NYC
Nas (Nasir Jones) is Queensbridge-born — the largest public housing project in North America, in Long Island City Queens. Illmatic (1994) is widely considered the greatest debut rap album of all time. Silk Road NYC at 166-30 Jamaica Ave is the Queens NY OCM-licensed dispensary that operates within the same borough and cultural fabric Nas built.
Queensbridge to Jamaica — same borough, same culture
Queensbridge and Jamaica are both Queens. Different neighborhoods, shared culture. The Queens hip-hop canon — Nas, Mobb Deep, Capone-N-Noreaga, Tragedy Khadafi, Cormega — all come from the same borough Silk Road NYC operates in. Sohan Bashar's curation respects that lineage.
