I know I’m a bit late on this, but I just got a chance to checkout the visuals for AZ‘s new track “Different.” While watching it several thoughts were going through my mind: 1) how good he is lyrically; 2) how captivating he is as an MC, and most importantly; 3) how similar he is to Nas in style and tone.

If you’re into authentic hip-hop and you have not yet seen the video, click here or on the image above to watch it and remember to like, comment and share.
