AZ Roars Once More On His New Single "Back To Myself" ft. Soshy

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

One of the golden era's most gifted MCs is making this Monday extra special. AZ has just dropped his brand new single "Back To Myself," which features the vocal talents of Soshy and is right in step with his high-standard of lyrical excellence. It's smooth in places, stormy in others and offers him plenty of space to fill up with tales of the good (and not so good) days, the fundamental importance of family and how he himself has kept on top of his own game after all these years. His work is proof positive enough, we must admit. AZ on "Back to Myself" sounds as determined and driven as ever.

"Back to Myself" was produced by BabyPaul (aka BpZy) and Frank Finesse and serves the very-special purpose of heralding a new 20th anniversary re-release of AZ's classic 1995 Doe or Die LP, which is due out later this month. AZ will also release a book on November 24th--it's entitled Jewels, Gems & Treasures and can be pre-ordered over on his website. Listen to "Back to Myself" below and join us in raising one up for one of the original Queensbridge kings.
