Anthony Cruz (born March 9, 1972, in Brooklyn), better known as AZ is a Grammy-nominated American rapper of Dominican & African American descent. He is known for being a long time and frequent rhyme partner of Nas, and also a member of hip-hop group The Firm alongside Nas, Foxy Brown, Cormega and Nature.
In a countdown of the 10 Most Underappreciated Rappers-Most Underrated Rappers of All Time, the editors of About.com listed AZ as #1 on the list. He was also included on About.com's list of the Top 50 MCs of Our Time (1987--2007), where he was described as "arguably the most underrated lyricist ever."
AZ first became known by appearing on Nas' landmark 1994 album Illmatic on the song "Life's a Bitch", as well as featuring vocals on the opening track The Genesis. He was the only guest feature to appear on that album. AZ signed with EMI, and soon released his debut album Doe Or Die in 1995 to critical acclaim, but meager commercial success. The album's lead single, "Sugar Hill", became AZ's only major commercial success as a solo artist, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and achieving Gold status. AZ's EMI contract was transferred to sister label Noo Trybe Records/Virgin Records when the EMI Label Group was shut down. In 1997, he and Nas appeared in a Sprite commercial. Also in 1997 the group The Firm with AZ, Nas, Nature, and Foxy Brown released their only album as a group, The Album. The album featured production from well known producers such as Dr. Dre and the Trackmasters and generated much hype, but was generally viewed as a disappointment. The group disbanded after just this one album. In 1998 AZ released his second solo album, Pieces of a Man. The album fared well but did not chart quite as well as his debut and did not feature a crossover single like "Sugar Hill".
After this album's release, AZ signed with Motown/Universal Records and released 9 Lives. In 2002, he released Aziatic. A single from the album, "The Essence," (featuring Nas) was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.
In 2004 AZ was planning on releasing his would-be 4th studio album, Final Call, however, it was eventually scrapped due to heavy leaking and released as Final Call (The Lost Tapes) in 2008. He released his 4th and 5th studio albums A.W.O.L. and The Format in 2005 and 2006, respectively. Then Undeniable and Legendary were released in 2008 and 2009 respectively.

AZ has one of the smoothest flow in Hip hop history. His style was so fascinating. He deserves so much more recognition, he was truly a underrated lyricist. The chorus of this song was highlight of this song for me. Miss Jones was perfect choice to sing this. She really didn’t disappoint.

The most underrated rapper of all time. He could have and should have been a legend whose name rings out.
This was such a beautiful time for Hip Hop!! It almost brings tears to my eyes to see what these young boys have done to our beautiful music!!!! Thank God for Memories!!!
Real talk from a 60 year old
Wasn’t the young boys. It was someone else
@@Hombre_Astutooh please. People need to take accountability for promoting trash m/ destructive music and stop blaming others! Artist did it for money, fame instead of preserving the culture.
YEEESSSS!!!! and we’re Celebrating 50 years of Hip Hop Too!!! It did bring a tear to my eyes cause I just turned 50!!! I looooove being BLACK AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH IT AND US💯💯💯🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🎶✨🖤

I miss the 90s! When men were men, the clubs were popping/fun and being treated and called a lady was the norm.
@COL3 AND3RSON it definitely was I remembered it was way more respectful and life living then
That part. Real men are becoming extinct.

OKAY🎯
On everything there will never be a better era.
Facts!!!!!!
Me too, I get emotional thinking about those 90s years of golden hip hop😢
Classic song from 1995. AZ was an underrated rapper. He only hit big in New York. He made his money though.
Same with Mega. Both still highly established with sprinkled fans throughout all parts of the country, at least.
@@user-vu5jx9hl8s and a fan in the UK
@@euphoriaggaminghd you da best
Nah I'm from Southern California and every one out here was banging this. LA radio stations played the hell out of this. Man one of the best hip hop songs of my teenage years . Brings back memories.
He stretch farther than NY, we bump the hell out of this in "The Dirty South"
Sugarhill is one of my favorite songs ever.
I’m thankful I come from this era of hip hop!
AZ’s flow is as smooth as the butter you put on your toast 🔥
THE PRINCESS MISS JONES DID HER THING ON THIS TRACK.🕎🌷👸🏽
One of the greatest to ever touch a mic. AZ. Sugar Hill, classic .
90s still is the best era that music has ever had that’s why those artists are still relevant to this day
I kept this on repeat when this came out...90s hit different
This song and Album is undoubtedly a classic.
Bring this era right bk
Flawless flow. Ironically if there had been no Nas AZ would own this lane...it's like watching a waterfall, endlessly consistent...
80s baby 👶
This brings back memories! 😍😍😍
The 90s living off Merrick Blvd were some of the best times of my life! This was definitely a summertime, rooftop, white owl, and St. Ides jam! Getting old is a blessing and curse at the same time. Lol. Peace all!
You can say that again…so glad I lived in nyc during that time. There was nothing like it.
2021... and I'm still rocking with this classic because it's fire 🔥. What about you? ✊
nostalgia the 90’s was best era ever. I’m still stuck in 95-96
This song gives me goose bumps. Helped get me through 2020 for real.
I still love this song! It used to be my jam at 13 now 42! This guy was so real if you heard this song bumped something was going down!

One of the best lyricist ever who does not get mention enough when talking about the greats.
That beat brings chill. Especially at the beginning.
This this day of my favorite song it's been my favorite song ever since I first heard it back in 1996 and I'm 42 now
This bring me back to a time in my life that I let slip from my mind. Ahhhh...the good ol days

First song I heard from AZ back then...never knew he was going to be one of my fav MCs.
i remember being a kid hearing my cousin pull up with Sounds in the Chevy the bassline was so deep that you knew what he was playing when he pullled up from being all the way upstairs
Thees something special about the music in the 90's. I miss that but still listening
A classic one ! mad respect for az
Nostalgia
I remember Kelly Rowland on every song around 2011/12. Miss Jones was like that in the mid and late 90s
I was ten years old wen this dropped i luved it then an had no idea how precious this was
