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: AZ] Yeah This is it right here This defines me Turn my mic up Let's do it, let's do it
[Verse 1: AZ] Spirit of Marcus Garvey Farad Muhammad, Medgar Evars and Bob Marley, I'm God-Body The scripture says Allah's inside me Show love, I was hugged by the arms of Gandhi Gave me my strength You could tell somebody raised me with sense We all need somethin' to help us through our daily events Bear with me; the toughest niggas tear quickly No lie, pops still cry and he near fifty Freedom or death, I give niggas a reason to sweat, there's no test Verbally it's like I'm seen as the best, who wanna try me?
[Sample Hook] Yeahhhhhhh, yeah-e-yeah I'm back!
[Verse 2: AZ] Sent to express grace Separate the weaker niggas is the less weight Fuck how y'all feel, y'all cowards now fuckin' with real I return like McGrady got caught with a pill, let's get it poppin' I move like a nigga coppin' I know the stress from the streets when I was diddy-boppin' Playin' the corners, face-to-face with the faces of mourners It's hard to trace the informers until it's too late Jake rest on my corners The focus is back, I play a part in this culture of rap Bought some whips so I relate on how these vultures attack Flippin' and runnin', double-park, rippin' up summons How many niggas hittin' twin sisters and flippin' they cousins? Call it finesse, the game — give it all I posses Nothin' changed, I'mma ball to the death
[Sample Hook (El Shaber)] Yeahhhhhhh (Right) Yeah-e-yeah (Show these cats how we do this here, nigga) I'm back!
[Verse 3: El Shaber] I'm like a, rose in the desert but how can one grow without rain? How can one experience happiness without pain? And how could I fall to the violence of hell and still remain sane? And how could I still remain on top of my game? When both the black and the white devils seek the power to rebel Seek to defy my radiance, I shift gears to another level I'm focused, but it's like I'm playin a cold hand of spades I got a lot of hearts, but these fools tryin to cut me and I'm tired of these jokers Vengeance is mine, I plague the whole planet with locusts I survived the mayhem, my advantage I've been the brokest I wasn't drugged and inhaled by all the smokers Then I became the love absorbed by all the cultures I can't trust women because my heart was scorned It's hard to trust yo' comrades, when yo' heart was torn One-nine-seven-oh the God was born

Video After The JumpThe borough of Queens, New York has produced some of the greatest rappers ever. Spittas like LL Cool J, 50 Cent, Mobb Deep, Nas, CNN, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Run DMC, Nicki Minaj and of course Cormega all hail from QB.
Mega Montana recently treated the crowd at Club Santos in New York to a great concert. He brought Nature and A.Z. to the stage. A.Z. and Cormega were original members of The Firm along with Foxy Brown and Nas. Nature replaced Cormega when their full album was released, but Mega did appear on the very first The Firm song "Affirmative Action."
He and A.Z. dropped their verses to that classic then Sosa performed his verse from "Mo Money, Mo Murder."
Cormega later performed a full set, and brought out Nature and D. Gomez Films was there to capture it all.
So kick back and peep the vids below.
