Ill Will Records is an American vanity record label founded by Nasir "Nas" Jones. The label was named after Willie "Ill Will" Graham, Nas' childhood neighbor and best friend, who was shot dead on May 23, 1992, when both were teenagers. Nas co-founded the label in 1999 before the release of his fourth album, Nastradamus, with the help of his then-manager, Steve Stoute.
After signing to Def Jam in 2005, Nas relaunched the label under the name The Jones Experience, as an imprint of Def Jam Recordings. In 2014, Nas co-founded Mass Appeal Records with Peter Bittenbender of the company Decon. The label is the music division of the Mass Appeal Media Group with distribution handled by The Orchard.
