The Doe Or Die 2 Tour
Legendary rapper AZ first gained recognition by appearing on Nas' 1994 landmark album Illmatic on the song "Life's A Bitch", as well as featuring vocals on the opening track "The Genesis". He was the onlyguest feature to appear on the classic album.
After entering the game with a classic verse, he continued to dropgems both throughout his solo career and as a part of the rap supergroup The Firm, as well as through his continued frequent collaborations with Nas.
With eight studio albums under his belt, and his latest project Doe Or Die 2 on the way, AZ's catalogue is deep to say the least.
Arguably one of the greatest lyricists of all time, AZ, live at TheGreat Hall - December 7th.
AZ
One of the numerous thoughtful gangsta rappers 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), but commercial success largely eluded him over the years. 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 ill-fated supergroup the Firm and released Pieces of a Man (1998), another critical favorite. But for the most part, that was it from AZ for several years as he fell by the wayside, not surfacing in a big way again until a pair of Motown releases, 9 Lives (2001) and Aziatic (2002), that didn't sell any better than his previous efforts. He subsequently took his music underground, periodically releasing albums such as A.W.O.L. (2005). In 2004 the double-disc retrospective Decade 1994-2004 looked back over his career to date, gathering up various highlights.
