AZ first became known by appearing on Nas'
landmark 1994 album, Illmatic, as his hook on “Life’s A
Bitch” still resounds today and he was also featured on Illmatic’s opening opus “The
Genesis”. AZ was the only guest feature on Illmatic and soon thereafter he
signed with EMI and released his own debut LP Doe
Or Die in 1995 to widespread critical acclaim. The album's lead single,
"Sugar Hill", became one of AZ's major commercially successful records as a solo
artist, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and achieving Gold status.
In 2002, he released Aziatic from which his single "The Essence“ f/ Nas was
nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. AZ has
since released four solo-LP’s (his solo release Undeniable also made a high debut on
the Billboard charts) and worked with artists such as Nas, RZA, DJ Premier,
Ghostface, Raekwon, Pete Rock, Buckwild, Trackmasters, Emile, Lil Fame, Phonte,
Sheek Louch, Styles P, Foxy Brown, Beanie Sigel, Nottz, Large Professor, Bink,
MoSS, & Statik Selektah and remained a constant staple with fans and critics
alike. On the "Thank You" (Freestyle), AZ goes in on a medley of
beats provided by DJ Doo Wop. Look out for the video for "Thank You" & Doe
or Die II LP.
