If you're a fan of incredible wordplay, complex rhyme schemes, and rapid-fire delivery, then this week's episode reviewing AZ's debut album, Doe or Die, is especially for you. After gaining notoriety with his standout guest verse on "Life's a Bitch" from Nas's critically acclaimed 1994 album Illmatic, AZ returned with what is arguably one of the best hip-hop albums of 1995. Backed by legendary producers like Pete Rock, Buckwild, and N.O. Joe, AZ delivers a near-flawless performance, picking up right where he left off a year earlier. Doe or Die is a masterclass in lyrical precision, vivid storytelling, and timeless production, making it one of the defining albums of its era. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_r=1&_t=ZT-98B49wnzTpO https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/1HCyVnWGHj/?mibextid=wwXIfr

In 1991, Boston wasn't considered an influential city to hip hop like New York was on the east coast or L.A. on the west. But that changed in 1991 when rapper Ed O.G. and Da Bulldogs released Life Of A Kid In The Ghetto, a highly underrated album that touches on subjects such as censorship to being a present father in your child's life. On top of great production, Ed O.G. showcases his skills on the mic throughout the album, repping his Roxbury Boston roots to the fullest. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_r=1&_t=ZT-97n7H6uBzav https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/19AAyr7TqP/?mibextid=wwXIfr

1995 was filled with many classic hip-hop albums and one of those is this episodes' topic - the sophomore LP from group Showbiz & AG, titled Goodfellas. Continuing off the underground success of their debut in 1992, Showbiz put the mic down to fully focus on producing. This left AG to handle the bulk of the rapping, and created a much darker, yet sonically improved sound. https://www.tiktok.com/@brandonhetzel996?_r=1&_t=ZT-93BJKMODUmU https://www.instagram.com/str8_the_clippa?igsh=cTBzNnFhenRkN3Nl&utm_source=qr https://www.facebook.com/share/1HE7bHB8j9/?mibextid=wwXIfr
