Legendary emcee AZ returns to announce the release of his highly anticipated album, Doe Or Die III (Mass Appeal), the long-awaited third installment in his iconic series, which will be released on 5.8.26.

The album announcement marks a true full-circle moment, as it reunites AZ with the legacy that first introduced him to the world; from being the sole guest feature and the first voice heard on Nas’ seminal Illmatic, to carving out a Hall of Fame career as a solo artist, Doe Or Die III serves as a master class in veteran lyricism, bridging the gap between the golden era and the modern landscape.

To celebrate the announcement, AZ has also released the project’s first single, “So High,” featuring Mumu Fresh.  “So High” is smooth, reflective, and sharply executed. “So High” harkens back to when AZ was “spending them Jacksons.”

Philly veteran rapper Young Chris connects with hip hop super producer MadeinTYO on “Fine Wine & Steak,” as they unveil the official video for the single, out now.
