AZ is one of, if not THE... most underappreciated artist in the genre. Should be included in every discussion regarding the greatest in the game.

Yo I have listened and love listened to AZ for years. Since the '90s. He don't do a lot of interviews so I didn't realize how real he was. How matter of fact he is. This shit is refreshing. I'm glad he's such a stand up dude.

Peep how AZ paused, perched up and looked who was coming in the door. Same like he did in the scene of Belly with Nas and got out the way. You always have to beware of your surroundings.

[@paschalvfx]

I have seen another guest reacting the same. It always reminds me of the last scene of the Sopranos

[@johncooney93]

As a combat vet I respect and reflect that. Similar but different. AZ is dope, he and Mega would make an amazing album
