Happy Birthday to the legendary Az! From Brooklyn streets to timeless beats, your verse on Nas' "Illmatic" wasn't just a guest spot—it was hip-hop history. Decades later, we're still nodding our heads and quoting those iconic lines like scripture.

Your lyrical finesse continues to inspire generations of rappers who dream of matching that smooth flow and razor-sharp wit.

Here's wishing you another year filled with rhymes as unforgettable as your debut verse. Cheers!
