New York, NY (Top40 Charts) It's been a decade since "The Visualiza" has graced us with an album, but Anthony "AZ" Cruz has been teasing fans for years that a sequel to his platinum debut was on the horizon. Now the wait is over. AZ's "Doe Or Die 2" will be released on Sept. 10, 2021. Those who pre-order, add and favorite AZ's "Doe or Die 2" will receive "The Wheel" as an instant grat track.

"Doe or Die II is just what the doctor ordered," AZ said.
AZ in 2002 was nominated for a Grammy (Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group) for "The Essence," featuring Nas. Over the course of his distinguished and influential career, AZ has sold millions of albums, created hit singles, and lent his voice to some of hip-hop's most timeless music. The last time his voice was heard was on "Full Circle," The Firm reuniting track from Nas' 2020 Grammy winning album "Kings Disease" (Best Rap Album).
"As a modern-day renaissance artist, AZ is looking forward to contributing his influential and legendary voice to the world of film once again, like he did with the hip-hop classic and visually extraordinary film, Belly," said Kay K Rosemond, five-time Grammy Award-nominated music executive.
AZ's return to the big screen may not be far behind with the highly anticipated thriller "Flatbush." Backdoor Entertainment LLC, LA PhiLA Productions, and R.D.J.A DES LLC have announced that they are in conversation with AZ about Samuel Ladouceur's upcoming thriller "Flatbush."
