"Memphis Bleek Is...", is the debut single from Memphis Bleek, it was from his first album, The Coming of Age. The song was perceived as an indirect diss to Nas. It was considered a Nas diss because the song had a similar concept to that of Nas' song, "Nas Is Like." The song became a minor hit and allowed Bleek to be known as more than Jay-Z's sidekick. It, along with music from Ja Rule, became the most requested music in New York City during the summer of 1999, and established a fan base for Bleek.
