AZ- One of my Brooklyn Favorites is back.

One of the most underrated rappers from the 90s, AZ, has a new album on the way. AZ, who many forget is actually one-half Dominican, can defiantly be filed under the hip-hop veteran category. There is a good reason for his long standing in the hip-hop game. From running side-by-side with Nas to The Firm, clearly he has already left his imprint in hip hop history. Although he has not been able to reach “mainstream” popularity levels of that of his old buddy Nas, he has one strong cult following, especially in New York. AZ drops his new album ‘The Format’ on November 7th (with a bonus DVD w/ videos & live footage). Here is the full track listing;

1). I Am The Truth (Produced by Lil Fame)
2). Sit ‘Em Back Slow f/M.O.P. (Produced by Face Defeat and Lil
Fame)
3.) Get High (Produced by Emile)
4.) Make Me! (Produced by Emile)
5). Rise & Fall f/Little Brother (Produced by J.Cardim and Phonte Coleman)
6.) Animal (Produced by Statik Selektah)
7.) Doing That (Produced by Lil Fame)
8.) This What I Do (Produced by J.Cardim)
9.) The Format (Produced by DJ Premier)
10.) Vendetta (Produced by J.Cardim)
11.) Game Of Life (Produced by Emile)                                                                             12.) Royal Salute (Produced by Emile)—Bonus Track

Opting to stay true to his hip-hop style by not getting the hot producer of the month, rather instead hooking up with DJ Premier for the title track single.
