Pieces of a Man is the second studio album by rapper AZ. The album was highly praised for its complex and insightful lyricism. The first single was intended to be "Hey AZ" featuring SWV, using the same sample as Mariah Carey's song "Honey", "Hey DJ" by The World's Famous Supreme Team. Both were released in summer of 1997. A video for "Hey AZ" was shot, but the song was not included on the album release in the spring of 1998.

For the most part, he lives up to these expectations on Pieces of a Man. There are certainly some slow spots on the record, but the production from Trackmasters and Dr. Dre is appealing, funky, and seamless, blending street rhythms with radio-ready hooks. Furthermore, AZ's lyrical skills are increasing, as the best moments (including the single "What's the Deal") prove. The moments that work on Pieces of a Man are so strong that they make the lesser, lazier moments forgivable.

Track contains a sample from "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone. It also contains a sample from "Happy Birthday Maggie" by Hans Zimmer. Track contains a sample from "Show Me" by Glenn Jones. Track contains samples from "Like A Tatoo" by Sade. Track contains a sample of the recording "The Glow Of Love" by Change.

Pieces of a Man is AZ's second album, released on April 7, 1998. The album is vastly different from his debut, Doe or Die. It contained fun, party tracks as opposed to Doe or Die's grimy, street oriented lyrics and production. Despite this major change, the album was still highly praised for its complex and insightful lyricism. The first single was supposed to be "Hey AZ" featuring SWV. That song uses the same sample as Mariah Carey's song "Honey", "Hey DJ" by the World Famous Supreme Team. The song "Hey AZ" had a video as well but for some reason when the.

AZ’s anticipated follow-up to his classic debut Doe Or Die is another solid album that lacks just that little extra to make it really great. AZ is keeping the rugged beats and street mentality in his flows that made his debut an underrated classic, there are just a few too many mediocre tracks to elevate this album to the same level as Doe or Die. Top tracks: What’s The Deal How Ya Livin’ Love Is Love Sosa. First Family 4 Life. It took me 24 years to figure out what makes this world go round, It’s not a man holding ground with dope sound, We gots to ask, Why do you feel. Az. 13 Tracks. Pieces of a (Black) Man. 0. 12.
