AZ said it and he stayed true to exactly that, as he delivers raw, uncensored, real NY style lyrics that the “streets” loved. I appreciate the opening line of the verse: “The first bars I’ve ever spitted I scarred the game” which subtly references his feature spot on “Life’s A B****” He definitely claims relevancy from the jump, but then his humility shows when he says “Catch me, f*** sales, long as the streets accept me”. From the jump, AZ starts name dropping “Sosa” from Scarface of course, given his entire persona of Mafioso life and rapping, it’s merited. I always pay attention to these for reasons which I’ve mentioned in previous album reviews, as it sets the tone and is indicative of what we can expect in upcoming tracks. He kicks off his album much like everyone else. With a ton of people involved in producing this album, it’s difficult to anticipate the cohesiveness, but I’m positive we’ll be pleasantly surprised. Let’s take a look at the album that truly categorized AZ amongst the most talented but underrated rappers of all time. His lyrical brilliance, his flow and storytelling tactics are on point and the result is one that belongs in every music library. His talent, intelligence, insight and wisdom is infused into every track.

He’s easily one of the three most underrated and under appreciated MC’s of all time (IMO) and an often forgotten gem of Hip Hop… but that’s where DAR comes in. Of course I’m referring to none other than AZ. Today, we’re talking the one rapper who has almost always lived in the shadow of Nas and has been his friend since the days of “ Illmatic”. I dreamed of guns and tons of coke on a car chaseįantastic reference that epitomizes a “mafioso rap” style with almost flawless delivery.
