Today in Hip-hop marks nineteen years of Hip-hop supergroup's The Firm's debut and only studio album, The Album.

When the group assembled, the original roster featured the combined talents of Nas, AZ, Foxy Brown, and Cormega, the same artists appearing on Nas' “Affirmative Action” off his 1996 album, It Was Written.
