AZ, Aziatic (2002)
With this attempt, AZ stays consistent and does what he's known for doing best, spitting! From first track to last, Aziatic is a pleasure to listen to. In my opinion, maybe he's lost a step since 9 lives but his music is still top notch.
The album's highlight, for me, has got to be Fan Mail. It's a creative cut where AZ raps some of the fan mail he's gotten. One part goes "Peace Allah, I hope this scribe reaches your hands in good health/as for self, no sense in worrying, my cards have been dealt/ sunk in a cell, Fishkill, fifth year in my bid/ finally got the chance, recent, to connect with my kids/it's kind of hard, through the carelessness I scarred they moms/ on temporary I was barred, voluntary the bond/nevertheless, theres issues I need to address/ pertaining to certain statements that made me confess/faced with life, advice when reality hits/ and with crime comes alot of technicality shit." This is obviously a fan imprisoned, appealing to AZ's urban audience.
The beats are no slouches either. Professionally done, this album lacks for nothing. Hopefully, before long AZ gets the airplay and spins he deserves. This project is certainly a testament to the fact he's earned more exposure.

Buy or Copy: Buy, then listen to number 7 immediately, twice.
