Brooklynite Hip Hop artist AZ made himself known with the unforgettable lone guest verse on Nas‘ Illmatic (1994), packing a great number of syllables into each line and making it sound easy, while also providing the terse yet illustrative hook. The next few years, AZ hit number one on Billboard’s R&B chart with Doe or Die (1995), his solo debut featuring the gold single “Sugar Hill,” and topped the Billboard 200 as a member of the Firm with The Album (1997). Although his next three albums went Top Ten R&B, with fourth solo album Aziatic (2002) also producing the Grammy-nominated single “The Essence,” true solo mainstream success eluded AZ. His standing in hip-hop nonetheless has risen steadily over time, and his discography has grown into the 2020s with A.W.O.L. (2005), The Format (2006), and Doe or Die II (2021), among other projects issued by his Quiet Money label.
