After such an unprecedented debut record, expectations were high for Nas' second effort. What came next was no less influential than Illmatic, and would become the most commercially successful album in the entirety of Nas' catalogue. It Was Written, in contrast to the urban bleakness of his debut, had Nas dipping his toes into the world of mafioso rap.
