About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

AZ had a lot to prove with his second album, Pieces of a Man. Not only did he have to prove that the success of his debut, Doe or Die, was not a fluke, he had to live up to his success with the Firm and as a guest artist with Monifah, D'Angelo, and Nas. For the most part, he lives up to these expectations on Pieces of a Man. There are certainly some slow spots on the record, but the production from Trackmasters and Dr. Dre is appealing, funky, and seamless, blending street rhythms with radio-ready hooks. Furthermore, {|AZ|}'s lyrical skills are increasing, as the best moments (including the single "What's the Deal") prove. The moments that work on Pieces of a Man are so strong that they make the lesser, lazier moments forgivable. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

July 12, 2003: PIECES OF A MAN is a great lp. Its no where near DO OR DIE, buts a great lp. PIECES OF A MAN has a more defined sound than DO OR DIE, but the calibar doesn't exceed DO OR DIE. Lyrically, AZ is killin' it. For example : "it gotta freeze time, thats why i ice the face on my watch". There are some slow spots on the lp, especially from the collabs, but its great lp none the less. A great sophomore effort from AZ.
