AZ - A.W.O.L. (Hydra Beats Blends)

You already know what it is, but now it's better. T.R.O.Y. forum regular, vaporized, went and laced the acapellas of A.W.O.L. with some of the highly sought after Hydra Beats instrumentals. Whether you thought A.W.O.L was dope, mediocre, or garbage, you're gonna want to give this another listen right about now. It's a completely different look over these mostly mellow mid 90's soundscapes. I've had this in constant rotation for a couple of weeks now, and can tell you that this will be something to revisit often in the future.

Two tracks had to be left off because they just didn't work. And that may be for the best because we all know this hip hop thing can't be forced. My top 3 tracks at this moment are "Never Change", "Street Life", and "Chillin". I'll leave you previews of these three below the tracklist.

01. AZ - A.W.O.L. (E-Boogie blend)
02. AZ - Can't Stop (Nick Wiz blend)
03. AZ ft. Raekwon & Ghostface Killah - New York (Unsociables blend)
04. AZ - Never Change (Beatnuts blend)
05. AZ ft. Half A Mil & Begetz - Street Life (Unsociables blend)
06. AZ - Still Alive (Beatnuts blend)
07. AZ - The Come Up (Kid Called Roots blend)
08. AZ - Chillin' (Kid Called Roots blend)
09. AZ - Envious (Nick Wiz blend)
10. AZ - City Of Gods (E-Boogie blend)

  1. vaporized should do the beat selection for AZ's next album, so there would be at least 1 enjoyable album by this talented BK rapper.

    Been listening to this since vaporized posted it a few months ago. It's on a level with "Memphis Sessions".

    Thanks a lot for this one, I really appreciate it!

  2. Do you have the instrumental to "all about the fetti" on the new jersey drive soundrack?

  3. Glad you guys appreciate this. I meant to put the other Beatnuts blend as a preview. "Never Change" is definitely my favorite track here. Shit is unbelievable.
    Vaporized definitely has a talent here and I wouldn't mind if he did AZ's beat selection either. :)
