AZ Paints a Vintage Picture on a Beautiful and Timeless Track (Audio)

Earlier this week, Ambrosia For Heads premiered episode 1 of Learn From Legends, a new web series where up and coming producer Rodney Hazard sits with iconic Hip-Hop producers to perfect his craft. It seems Hazard is already applying his learnings, as he’s produced a masterful and beautiful track for AZ.

On “Vintage,” Hazard employs lush strings that conjure a performance from AZ that the venerable MC considers timeless. “When I got the beat from Rodney, it was called ‘Paint,’ so when I listened to it, it got me in that zone where I just had to paint poetry with my lyrics,” said AZ. “When the record was completed, I was like damn this feels like it will be around forever, I need to call it ‘Vintage’,” he continued.

The song is the first release from Hazard’s upcoming album titled Victim Volunteer. Take a listen to “Vintage” below and stay tuned for episode 2 of Learn From Legends next week.
