AZ "Doe Or Die II" (Album Stream)


Brooklyn's own AZ has finally released the follow up to his 1995 debut with a sequel dripped in its own brand of nostalgia. With production from Bink, Kaygee, Baby Paul, The Alchemist, Buckwild, Rockwilder, Heatmakerz, Czarface and the legendary Pete Rock, this 13-track set fits superbly in his extensive catalog of underrated music (debut aside). The LP also features Idris Elba, Jaheim, Rick Ross, Lil' Wayne, Conway the Machine, Dave East and T-Pain. Would I have called it Doe or Die II? Perhaps not, but I do see this as one of the better releases AZ has released in recent memory, and in his career as a whole. I'm told that autographed CDs are selling for roughly $85, but be advised, autographs are written on the outer wrapping, so if you plan to listen to the actual CD, it's not a sound investment.
