Features
AZ: The Format From A to Z
HHDX: That shows my man is doing it for the love.
AZ: Yes sir.
HHDX: Cause it’s a lot of garbage out right now.
AZ: [Laughs], Ok.
HHDX: So what’s it like with you in your career going label to label, what’s that experience like?
AZ: I mean that’s the story of my life. I don’t think a lot of other artists can do it, but the fact that a lot of dudes is looking for me I’m cool with it at the end of the day. There were no doors that ever shut in my face and I never been dropped from a label. Everything I did was on the strength of me doing it and trying to make my music situation better.
HHDX: So you cool with Koch right now?
AZ: I mean it’s a new world for me, I’m trying it. A.W.O.L. did pretty good there, I’m not mad it, it’s still rolling and going. We gonna add this (new album) to it and see what it’s gonna do. I’ll tell you next year around this time when I’m dropping the next album how I feel [laughs].
HHDX: So what kind of deal you got with Koch so far?
AZ: I have an independent deal where I just make the music and they distribute it.
HHDX: So what’s good with this new album The Format?
AZ: Aw man, it’s real serious right now. The Format is AZ to the tenth power once again and for my fans I definitely didn’t let ya’ll down. I got graded for talent just like my other craft. At the end of the day I get graded for talent so with this album here I got it done. On this album you got M.O.P., that’s Brooklyn all day and everyday. I got Jha Jha from dipset, my artist Fresh on it and that’s the way to go.
HHDX: No doubt, so you feel it’s your best work to date?
AZ: Oh yeah, all day everyday, I always step it up.
HHDX: So what’s gonna make The Format different from the last album?
AZ: I mean everything comes with talent as at the end of the day I stepped it up. Verbally I just stepped it up. It’s like when you buy a vehicle and you got the 06 out then in two more months the 07 come out, so you have to step it up, cause it has a new feature in it. That’s like my poetry it’s a new feature in it on every trip. Continued on page 3 »
