A bit of a coup for 90s hip hop fans, as legendary Brooklyn MC AZ hits the UK for a trio of dates.
AZ first came to prominence on Nas‘ Illmatic, featuring on Life’s A Bitch produced by L.E.S., who’s also currently on tour with Havoc of Mobb Deep.
AZ’s solo debut LP Doe Or Die soon followed, with the gold single Sugar Hill, and he soon took another step up as a member of supergroup The Firm.
Take a look inside his first album with this BET feature:
Doe or Die II more recently appeared on his Quiet Money label with an impressive cast of producers including debut contributors Pete Rock, Buckwild, along with Alchemist, KayGee, Baby Paul, and the Heatmakerz – it’s this album that provides the focus for his current dates, including
2 June – London, Jazz Cafe (sold out)
