AZ drops his new 2 Chainz collabo and announces 'Doe Or Die II' deluxe album

New York rapper AZ is hungrier than ever. The hip-hop veteran not only comes through heading into the weekend with his new 2 Chainz-featured ‘Motorola Era’ anthem but also announces the Do Or Die II deluxe album set to drop in the coming days.

AZ’s new 2 Chainz ‘Motorola Era’ hits hard

In time for a new music Friday, AZ unleashed his Statik Selektah-produced banger to the masses. It features Chainz doing what he does best with SS’s signature sound in the background. AZ uses the new anthem as the opportunity to celebrate and announce his deluxe version dropping January 28.

Over the course of his distinguished and influential career, AZ has been nominated for Grammy’s, sold millions of albums, created hit singles and lent his voice to some of Hip-Hop’s most timeless music. 

It had been a decade since AZ graced fans with an album, but his long-teased sequel, Doe Or Die II, became one of 2021’s undeniable success stories.  Featuring appearances and production from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, T-Pain, Alchemist, Conway The Machine, Dave East, Pete Rock, Bink, Buckwild, Kaygee, Heatmakerz, Rockwilder, and Baby Paul, Doe Or Die II was a mainstay at the top of the DSP charts upon its release.  

 Now, to thank fans for their overwhelming support, AZ has announced a deluxe edition of Doe Or Die II, which includes four new tracks, led by “Motorola Era” featuring 2 Chainz and produced by Statik Selektah. 

AZ promises big things on the new deluxe album

The hip-hop lyricist has already dished on the motivation behind putting out a deluxe version of his star-studded project.

“Doe Or Die II had been in the making for five to six years before its release, not in the creative sense, but in my head, envisioning how I would execute it, and who would be involved.  Would the fans still appreciate it?  But once I started the creative process during the pandemic, I knew this was what fans had been waiting on.  Record by record the songs got better and better.  When release day arrived and the feedback matched the hype, I knew it was special and I had delivered the promised masterpiece” AZ commented.  

AZ also acknowledges a ridiculous amount of punchlines on his new 2 Chainz song.

“Salute to everyone anticipating the Doe Or Die II Deluxe, I feel the love and I won’t let you down.  This is true poetry from a true dart thrower.  I’m setting off the Deluxe with a banger, “Motorola Era,” featuring 2 Chainz and produced by Statik Selektah.  It’s packed with lyrical braggadocious punchlines and designed to take you on a journey.” 

The Doe or Die II deluxe album tracklisting is stacked

The official deluxe album comes with three new bangers, most notably the addition of 2 Chainz’s ‘Motorola Era’ song.
