"Doe Or Die"-AZ


I uploaded his newest album a few months ago which was a decent album. Although that was a decent album, AZ's debut album "Doe Or Die" (released in 1995) is on a different level. The album is often compared to Nas' Illmatic which is unfair since that is one of the 3 best hip hop albums ever to be made. However, it is very similar. Nas contributes a couple great tracks ("Mo Money, Mo Murder (Homicide)", "Gimme Your's") and there is some laid back rnb vibes incorporated(" Sugar Hill") and he tries to seperate himself from other rappers ("Rather Unique"). Lyrically it is hard to catch how great he is on first listen especially since his voice is a little odd but he is lyrically amazing. Definitley one of the best mafioso rap albums to come out of the 1990's. This will definitley grow on you.
5/5 Bananas
