Anthony Cruz, better known as AZ ,is an American rapper best known for being a long time rhyme partner of Nas and being a member of hip-hop super group The Firm alongside Nas and Foxy Brown.  AZ is known for his multi-syllabic rhyming pattern and deep content based on Five Percenter Theologies.  AZ first came to prominence by appearing on Nas's landmark album Illmatic on the song "Life's a Bitch" (1994)—he was the only guest emcee to appear on that album.

An underground and critical favorite, CORMEGA was the rare hardcore rapper to win praise from all directions, and while he never quite crossed over like some of his New York City peers, he maintained a respectable independence over the years nonetheless, self-releasing his work on the Legal Hustle label. Born Cory McKay, CORMEGA grew up in the same Queensbridge housing projects that were home to a generation of rappers, most notably Nas, Mobb Deep, AZ, and Tragedy Khadafi, and a previous generation that famously included Marley Marl and the Juice Crew.
