Street's Disciple ( English for "students" or "disciples" of the street) is a double album by the rapper Nas . It was released on November 30, 2004 on the Columbia Records label. For the album cover, several photos of Nas were digitally inserted in different positions , so that it symbolically depicts the Last Supper of Jesus and his disciples. The album's singles are "Thief's Theme", "Bridging The Gap" (with Na's father Olu Dara ), and "Just A Moment" (with Na's protégé Quan). On the track "UBR (Unauthorized Biography of Rakim)" Nas pays tribute and appreciation to hip-hop legend Rakim. "Me & You (Dedicated to Destiny)" is dedicated to his daughter Destiny. Street's Disciple went platinum on November 18, 2005, making it Na's seventh platinum album.

The beat from the track "The Makings of a Perfect Bitch" was later used for Kool Savas & Azad's "All 4 One" after the two bought the European publishing rights for the beat from producer LES.
