Ill Will Records was 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 in 1992 when they were both teenagers. Nas launched the imprint in 1999 for the release of his fourth studio album, Nastradamus.
The imprint released albums by Nas and Bravehearts, and also signed Quan and singer Tre Williams. After signing to Def Jam Recordings in 2005, Nas relaunched Ill Will Records as The Jones Experience.
