Last night we were joined by a lyrical legend in this rap game, AZ aka most of your favourite rapper’s favourite MC just ask Termanology. Ever since first appearing as the only guest on Nas’s “Illmatic”; AZ has shown skill, consistency, and love for this game. In our interview with AZ he discusses his upcoming release “Undeniable” (dropping April 1), but also issues of being underrated and yet respected amongst his peers. But, go ahead our peep the interview and mini-throwback of some of our AZ favourites.

Double shot from Moe Pope & Headnodic’s brand new album “Megaphone” on NatAural High Records. These cats are representing Oakland and hip-hop in general with this release. They are bringing it back to the days of the MC/producer (think Premier/Guru and CL Smooth/Pete Rock ish) as Headnodic customizes the beats and Moe Pope rips them definitely worth checking out.
