Elmatic is the fifth mixtape by Detroit rapper and former Slum Village member eLZhi.

The mixtape is a tribute and a remake of Nas' 1994 classic debut Illmatic.

[2][3] The album was acclaimed by critics and praised for its lyrics and production[citation needed], many publishers and websites have named it on their top list of the year[citation needed].

The whole band and myself had a love for the Illmatic album, so when I came to them with the idea they were with it, it was easy, and we all knew that we wanted to put a twist on the music as well as the lyrics.

I put forth some ideas and they incorporated it in the music, made it come to life, it was pretty easy working with them.
