AZ speaks...

As someone who rates pretty highly in my 'top lyricists of all time' list, it's refreshing to hear something from former 'The Firm' group member AZ. As Nas's long time rap-partner, AZ has always been in somewhat of an Esco-sized shadow, but none-the-less his contributions to rap cannot be ignored.

This is an interview he did recently with Canadian-based Montreality, in which he speaks on several areas including; Do Or Die II, the possibility of a reunion with The Firm and his views on Nas and Damian Marley's collaboration, Distant Relatives (released tomorrow).



He really seems quite nonchalant when it comes to the question of Nas and Damian Marley, but then again, the sound track to this interview really reminds you of the chemistry that NaS and AZ have on a track; maybe it's hard for him to see Esco with a new rhyme-partner?

So, I guess, it's a case of watch-this-space for any new releases from Mr. Cruz...
