Editorial Reviews

Fresh off his critically-acclaimed album "The Format", AZ returns once again to bless his fans with a unique offering entitled "The Memphis Sessions", a two disc set where each disc stands on its own. Disc One combines AZ's effortless flow with some of the most funky and soulful tracks you'll come across. The second disc is comprised of all new, never released AZ cuts that sound as good on the streets as they do in the club. The result is pure start to finish listening pleasure for the audience as AZ's most popular acapellas are blended with beats reminiscent of 1970's Memphis. The success of Guru's "Jazzmatazz" albums proves that combining Hip Hop with other genres of music is a cutting-edge theme that's bound to be more common in the future. AZ was first heard on Nas' classic "Illmatic" masterpiece back in 1994 when he laid down an incredible verse to the song "Life's A Bitch." Since then, he has released such gems as "Do or Die", "Pieces of A Man", "9 Lives", "Aziatic", "A.W.O.L", and most recently, "The Format." So sit back, relax, and let one of Hip Hop's most underrated emcees take you on a journey from the old to the new, from Memphis to NYC.

This remix album, with it's laid back Memphis Soul Stew, actually highlights AZ's lyrical ability. You can catch every word without the beats getting in the way. I think I actually like AZ better than Nas now. Another classic from the god AZ.

AZ has good beats on his offical albums but this blows some of the orginals out of the water. Defintly worth checking out if you dig AZ

This mixtape is maybe the dopest thing AZ has done. His flow fits perfectly over these raw soulful beats. A must have for anyone who likes AZ. I think a lot of these songs are even better than their original versions which is saying a lot because those were hot tracks to start with.
