In light of Nas' classic album Illmatic, the rapper launched a fan contest that involves the creation of a music video for the track, "Represent."
According to Complex, contest winner Brian Katz joined Mass Appeal's Jason Goldwatch to create the legendary visuals. Katz expressed his excitement to create the video, which he based off the 1924 silent film, The Thief of Baghdad.
"As someone who has had Illmatic in heavy rotation for the past 20 years, the opportunity to represent as a true fan in sharing my vision with Nas and have Jason Goldwatch help bring that vision to reality is proof positive that indeed 'The World is Yours,'" Brian Katz said in a press statement.
