All Nas & AZ Collaborations

If I missed any songs let me know in the comments.

The release of AZ’s latest album Doe or Die III has me diving back into one of hip-hop’s most underrated partnerships. To celebrate, I put together a playlist with all the Nas and AZ collaborations on Spotify, along with The Firm classics. I also made sure to include YouTube videos of the Affirmative Action remix and their unreleased gem “Serious,” a track that perfectly captures the effortless chemistry these two have always shared. I believe this is every song they’ve made together. Few artists complement each other the way Nas and AZ do — their back-and-forth feels almost telepathic.

What makes their chemistry arguably the best in rap history is the way they trade bars with precision and flair. Both are lyrical with perfectly matched delivery styles: Nas with his cinematic storytelling and intricate wordplay, AZ with his smooth, methodical cadence and vivid street imagery. The songs on this playlist showcase multiple flows, layered metaphors, and that signature Queens-Brooklyn synergy. Every track feels like a conversation between two elite MCs who genuinely respect and elevate one another.

Their relationship dates back to the early ‘90s when a young AZ famously appeared as the only guest on Nas’ masterpiece Illmatic. From there they formed The Firm, dropped solo gems on each other’s projects, and continued linking up. Now, with AZ teaming Nas’ Mass Appeal label for Doe or Die III, their three-decade bond feels stronger than ever. When rap partnerships often fizzle, Nas and AZ remain a masterclass in longevity, mutual respect, and pure lyricism.

Remy Ma To Star In Lifetime Psychological Thriller

As she marks the 20-year anniversary of her debut album There’s Something About Remy, two-time Grammy-nominated and two-time BET Award-winning artist Remy Ma is expanding her work into a wider range of television, film, and storytelling projects. The first of these is the Lifetime psychological thriller Don’t Trust the Girls Upstairs, which premieres Saturday, June 20 at 8/7c. The film is based on the bestselling novel My Sister’s Daughter by Liv Constantine.

In the movie, Remy Ma plays Ashley Preston, a woman whose life is disrupted when she and her husband Elliot (Garfield Wilson) take in her orphaned teenage niece Serena (Aliyah Marc) after the sudden death of Ashley’s estranged sister. What starts as a gesture of support soon leads to escalating strange incidents at home, growing tensions between Serena and Ashley’s daughter Luna (Sasha Rojen), and a climate of paranoia and distrust. Ashley must confront buried secrets and uncover the truth before the situation inside her own household becomes dangerous. The role represents another significant on-screen performance for Remy Ma as she continues to build her presence in acting. “Working with Lifetime again has been an incredible experience,” she said. “Ashley is a woman who would do anything to protect her family, but everybody in that house is hiding something. She’s carrying grief, trauma, and pain she’s never fully dealt with, and that made this role feel very real to me. This role challenged me emotionally in ways I didn’t expect.” Don’t Trust the Girls Upstairs is directed by David Weaver from a script by Crystal Verge, and produced by Navid Soofi for Studio TF1 America in association with Rohm Feifer Entertainment, with executive producers Kara Feifer, Elisabeth Rohm, Timothy O. Johnson, and Meghan Hooper White.



Gucci Mane's Rare Debut CD Listed for a Million Dollars on eBay

In a striking example of hip-hop memorabilia reaching astronomical prices, a rare original copy of Gucci Mane's first independent full-length album has surfaced on eBay with a staggering Buy It Now price of one million dollars. This makes it the current most expensive rap CD on eBay. Titled Str8 Drop Records Presents Gucci Mane LaFlare, the disc is listed by seller dansake-42 and represents one of the most valuable physical items in the Atlanta rapper's extensive catalog. Limited to just 1,000 copies pressed around 2001-2002, this early artifact captures Gucci at the very beginning of his career, long before his mainstream breakthrough and string of hits.

The album stands as Gucci Mane's first independent project, showcasing the raw, emerging sound of Atlanta trap. It features production from Zaytoven and members of the Str8 Drop crew, along with early appearances by collaborators like OJ Da Juiceman. Tracks deliver gritty street narratives and energetic flows over bouncy, hypnotic beats that would later define the trap genre. While a 2010 reissue brought digital availability, original pressings from the early 2000s remain exceptionally scarce, as most circulated locally in Atlanta and Alabama through hand-to-hand distribution.
