From the first time I heard AZ spit on Nas' 1994 classic song "Life's a Bitch," I knew he was something special. Now here we are 29 years later, 8 solo albums deep and 1 group album with The Firm, Sosa has stood the test of time and has earned the right to be called a legend.
With that in mind, On Q Visuals continues his "Feed the Culture" series by blessing hip hop fans with a dope lyric video for "Time to Answer" off of AZ's latest album, "Doe or Die II."
[Intro: Mister Cee] I don't give a fuck who's first or who's last The Dipset is gonna rock this shit out at a drop of a brick, nigga I don't care what y'all say, I don't care what y'all do But y'all better rep Harlem until the god-damned music is through Mister Cee, let's Go
[Verse 1: Juelz Santana] All eyes on the honorable, who? Dipset, back to the grill again live at the barbecue Beefs on, all my kids ride like a carnival Heat's drawn, all you kids lie, like carpet do Get up and get ready, what up? The kids ready Now that I'm back, the game is fucked, the bitch let me You front, you stunt, you get heat, clown Yeah, punks jump up, to get beat down
[Verse 2: Jim Jones] Now eight years ago, I played the bench with dimes Everybody in my park was getting bent off dimes Pitchin' packs on the block, tryin' to get us some sneakers Sippin' yak, Henney, rock, puffin' nickels of reefer I'm pumpin' on the strip, in the midst of the drug trade I'm watching for the blitz in the midst of the drug raid For niggas gotta eat, it's like my stomach is touching back New York's rider man, for you suckers I'm fuckin' back
[Verse 3: Hell Rell] Now, can I kick it? Yes, I can They wanna know if I'm G'd up, yes, I am Look, I overpaid my dues, I almost made the news The block kinda hot but the cocaine gon' move If I was a brick, you wouldn't know what to do with me You'd probably cook me up, get a stem, and start using me Nobody built me, I made myself And you don't know how to shoot guns, you'd graze yourself
[Verse 4: JR Writer] I was a fiend, before I became a teen It was dreams, toss for the latest beams Made me cream 'cause hey, they kept the kept the powder in the tray Way before it was Maybelene I'm into major stacks, major stats, hate on that Cam, holla 'cause I'm gonna bring his label plaques That ain't made of plat', whoa, your jewelery ain't gold You cop your jewelery from Hov, they all fade to black
[Verse 5: 40 Cal] When I was nine years old, I realized who was the road At the end I cop a Benz when I chop some O's, 40 Smokin' lye, optimoz, poppin' mo's, we both shoppin' Difference is you coppin' clothes, I'll show you how to drop a Rolls Whether a Phantom or a flower, I'm a killer like Jaffi Joe I'm from where they made the cocky flow While hoes puck up on my stick, like you trying to hit a hockey goal
[Verse 6: Un Kasa] I keep a nine in my dresser, lyrical professor Keep you under pressure, ain't a nigga better Mind like a computer, sick shooters Yo, your fam goin' to war with six shooters? I bone bitches with coupes and big hooters Give head, and piff Buddha, pump bricks and sip 'Lúa How you hard? You runnin' with state troopers My niggas is straight shooters, cock back, and straight shoot you
[Outro: Mister Cee] Not in my book, never that, nigga I'll ask y'all niggas to go till the motherfuckin' beat stops When I had the Dipset right, I had Juelz Santana, Jim Jones Hell Rell, JR Writer, 40 Cal, Un Kasa, Dipset forever, nigga Mister Cee signin' off, Duke Da God

38 Spesh, the CEO of Trust Comes First Music Group, came through stomping as expected with his "Interstate 38" album. Lots of fire records on the project. One of my favorites is The Heatmakerz-produced song "Investment Pieces."

As a member of both Dot Mob and Coastwave Regime, Trav Da Assasin, has earned well deserved recognition as an elite lyricist. As he works on his solo album titled "T.I.M.E.," Trav offers fan a warm up in the form of a new banger called "State of the Union" featuring Coastwave boss and fellow New Jersey emcee, J-Ness.
There's a distinction between being a rapper and a lyricist. All artists can put together words that rhyme, but very few make you stop the song you're listening to, so you can rewind it to comprehend a slick bar you just heard.
Fred the Godson was an elite lyricist.
Sadly, the Bronx, New York native lost his life on April 23, 2020, at the young age of 35 due to complications of coronavirus.
Thankfully, Fred recorded so much material throughout his career we will get a chance hear more of his music on future projects.
The first posthumous release from Gordo is titled "GodSon." A project which features many of Fred's classic songs. A lot of them you may have missed at the time they were originally released.
"Godson" is now available on all streaming platforms:
1. Intro 2. The Sermon 3. Too Fat 4. Put In Work 5. She Called Me God 6. The City 7. Streets of the Bronx 8. Rush 9. We Gone Fly 10. Money 11. Talkin Bout Money 12. It's All There 13. Can I Live with Jay Pharoah
DJ Absolut was fortunate enough to chop it up with Fred the Godson prior to him passing.
Fred talked about where he rates himself as an artist, upcoming projects, wanting to work with Nas, Eminem and Jay-Z, his admiration for Drake, Meek Mill, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, 2Pac and rated his top 5 DOA emcees.
Gordo ended the interview by spitting a freestyle. Hope y'all enjoy!
