review :
One of the numerous and most talented MC’s to emerge from New York during the mid-’90s, AZ enjoyed critical success early in his career, particularly with his debut album, Doe or Die (1995), Born in Brooklyn, he initially garnered attention with his guest feature on "Life’s a Bitch," one of the standout tracks on Nas’ landmark debut album, Illmatic (1994). In the wake of Doe or Die’s critical success, AZ collaborated with Nas in the supergroup the Firm and than released Pieces of a Man (1998), another critical favorite.

AZ is known for his smooth, cadence of delivery. He is also known for his use of multi-syllable rhyme schemes, internal rhymes, unconventional rhymes, and a large vocabulary. AllHipHop.com reconizes AZ as "the greatest rapper as far as lyrics and longevity" his style and flow are instantly recognizable.

AZ is a legend right next to Nas ya dig. Lyrically one of the greatest to do it without all that commercial bull shit, I’m glad people starting to finally know about him. I didn’t realize how raw he was until like ’02 but was still sleeping on him for years...what type of Hip-Hop fan was I back then ?
