AZ has appeared in enough "underrated rappers" lists to prove that "underappreciated by the average rap fan" is a more accurate distinction. Moreover, his lengthy career is not without significant commercial highlights. The lyrical Brooklynite made himself known with the unforgettable lone guest verse on <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a>' Illmatic (1994), packing a great number of syllables into each line and making it sound easy, while also providing the terse yet illustrative hook. The next few years, AZ hit number one on Billboard's R&B chart with Doe or Die (1995), his solo debut featuring the gold single "Sugar Hill," and topped the Billboard 200 as a member of <a href="spotify:artist:2Sk9ARejPHclTzcpuOqj0O">the Firm</a> with The Album (1997). Although his next three albums went Top Ten R&B, with fourth solo album Aziatic (2002) also producing the Grammy-nominated single "The Essence," true solo mainstream success eluded AZ. His standing in hip-hop nonetheless has risen steadily over time, and his discography has grown into the 2020s with A.W.O.L. (2005), The Format (2006), and Doe or Die II (2021), among other projects issued by his <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Quiet+Money%22">Quiet Money</a> label. 

Anthony "AZ" Cruz was born in Beford-Stuyvesant and raised in Brooklyn, specifically East New York. He got his start when friend and emergent Queensbridge rapper <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a> called him into the vocal booth to assist with what became "Life's a Bitch," track three on the multi-platinum 1994 album Illmatic. AZ consequently pulled an EMI recording contract and made his solo debut the next year with "Sugar Hill" -- like "Life's a Bitch," an <a href="spotify:artist:2thqW2tq3Kx1t7Cavzxxtk">L.E.S.</a> production based on a slow jam from the previous decade. "Sugar Hill" entered Billboard's R&B/hip-hop chart that July, peaked later at number 12, and went Top 40 pop, reaching number 25. "Sugar Hill" earned a gold certification before the parent album landed in October. Doe or Die, filled with other vivid mobster tales and beats from the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:3BeQqzKdlARoOd6y30kCO2">Pete Rock</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5e8Ql51aLRuWVUvrLfsixN">Buckwild</a>, crowned the R&B chart and was shot to number 15 on the Billboard 200. It yielded more chart placements with the <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a> collaboration "Gimme Yours" and the title track.

Before his second album, AZ became part of <a href="spotify:artist:2Sk9ARejPHclTzcpuOqj0O">the Firm</a>, a short-lived supergroup facilitated by <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a> and producers <a href="spotify:artist:6DPYiyq5kWVQS4RGwxzPC7">Dr. Dre</a> and Trackmasters after he, <a href="spotify:artist:4vQLu6vYK0hp8k0fsAzsU8">Cormega</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1wvlC6NwleHt1iRD6d5X2C">Foxy Brown</a> were featured together on <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a>' "Affirmative Action." <a href="spotify:artist:2Sk9ARejPHclTzcpuOqj0O">The Firm</a>, with <a href="spotify:artist:6Eh3FZB6fRtMoO9GXogZtX">Nature</a> in place of <a href="spotify:artist:4vQLu6vYK0hp8k0fsAzsU8">Cormega</a>, went straight to the top of the Billboard 200 in 1997 with their <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Aftermath%22">Aftermath</a>-issued The Album, a set with pop flavoring stronger than that of any of the artists' previous work. (<a href="spotify:artist:2Sk9ARejPHclTzcpuOqj0O">The Firm</a>'s original lineup would reunite in 2020 on <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a>' King's Disease.) Moved with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:5cMgGlA1xGyeAB2ctYlRdZ">Gang Starr</a> from <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22EMI%22">EMI</a> to <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Noo+Trybe%22">Noo Trybe</a>, a hip-hop subsidiary of <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Virgin%22">Virgin</a>, AZ then delivered his 1998 follow-up Pieces of a Man, and without hit singles managed to take the album to number 22 on the Billboard 200. He teamed again with <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2thqW2tq3Kx1t7Cavzxxtk">L.E.S.</a> for "How Ya Livin'," and with Trackmasters on the fan favorite "Sosa." Among the album's other contributors were <a href="spotify:artist:1wvlC6NwleHt1iRD6d5X2C">Foxy Brown</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4iCwCMnqsNZ6atvRiADgtn">RZA</a>. 

AZ switched labels again, this time landing on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Motown%22">Motown</a>. He delivered his third and fourth Top Ten R&B solo albums with 9 Lives in 2001 and Aziatic in 2002. They both went Top Five R&B and Top 30 on the Billboard 200, and each one spawned a charting single, namely "Problems" and "I'm Back." The latter also contained "The Essence," a <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a> collaboration nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Subsequently entering a distribution deal with the independent <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Koch%22">Koch</a>, AZ was due to release his fifth full-length, Final Call, in 2004, but AZ opted to shelve it, alleging that <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Koch%22">Koch</a> delayed its release and also leaked the music. (An official version was released by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Koch%22">Koch</a> in 2008 under the title Final Call [The Lost Tapes]). Undaunted and still affiliated with <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Koch%22">Koch</a>, AZ kept moving with his <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Quiet+Money%22">Quiet Money</a> label, releasing A.W.O.L. in 2005, The Format in 2006, and Undeniable in 2008. All three charted. <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Real+Talk+Entertainment%22">Real Talk Entertainment</a> released AZ's eight album, Legendary, in 2009.

At the start of the 2010s, AZ continued with Doe or Die: 15th Anniversary, which was a celebration more than a reissue, as the contents mixed reworked and fresh material. Throughout the rest of the decade, the rapper issued assorted mixtapes and compilations, plotted a sequel to Doe or Die, and made guest appearances on tracks headlined by <a href="spotify:artist:6FD0unjzGQhX3b6eMccMJe">Ghostface Killah</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:099tLNCZZvtjC7myKD0mFp">Kool G Rap</a>, and previous group mates <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4vQLu6vYK0hp8k0fsAzsU8">Cormega</a>. AZ also wrote and published a book, Jewels, Gems & Treasures. Into the 2020s, AZ continued to grant guest verses, appearing on tracks by a mix of peers and those he has inspired, from <a href="spotify:artist:099tLNCZZvtjC7myKD0mFp">G Rap</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:20qISvAhX20dpIbOOzGK3q">Nas</a> to <a href="spotify:artist:1sBkRIssrMs1AbVkOJbc7a">Rick Ross</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0ABk515kENDyATUdpCKVfW">Westside Gunn</a>. Do or Die II appeared on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Quiet+Money%22">Quiet Money</a> in 2021 with an impressive cast of producers including debut contributors <a href="spotify:artist:3BeQqzKdlARoOd6y30kCO2">Pete Rock</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5e8Ql51aLRuWVUvrLfsixN">Buckwild</a>, along with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:0eVyjRhzZKke2KFYTcDkeu">Alchemist</a>, KayGee, Baby Paul, and <a href="spotify:artist:5UGXCvrl0e0N5iYLMiADpe">the Heatmakerz</a>. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

This channel focuses on videos designed to help you learn. Big focus on Azure, DevOps, PowerShell and other Microsoft technologies but also some virtual mentoring content! Thanks for visiting! Please note this channel is my hobby and completely unrelated to my day job at Microsoft. 🤙 Also note due to the channel growth and number of people wanting help I no longer can answer or even read questions and they will just stay in the moderation queue never to be seen so please post questions to other sites like Reddit, Microsoft Community Hub etc.


John Savill's Technical Training

I passed the Az-104 today. Many thanks to you sir for putting together this video. This video course is 100 times better than paid courses👍👍

John, you Sir are a legend! Like many others on here, I passed the AZ-104 this afternoon at the first attempt using this video as my main resource. The way you visualise these concepts on the whiteboard played a massive part in my understanding. Other teachers slap a few bullet points onto a slide and read them out, but you take the time to explain in a way that is engaging and easy to understand. Thank you!

Thank you so much for putting these together. Really appreciate the effort that goes into making them and your AZ104 and AZ900 crams have got me through both exams. The chapters make things very straightforward and the way you explain things is super clear.

John, thank you so much for this video. Its a huge help towards studying and prep for the AZ-104 exam. We really appreciate it. I am truly impressed by your knowledge in this field. I just realised I already posted on this video but I am still watching it bit by bit lol its a long session had to watch it in bits.

John you my hero! Appreciate all the effort you put into this and everything you give back to the community. Just about to renew my Az-104 and this video has helped tremendously wirh brushing up on my skills since I last wrote. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing you hit 200k subscribers in the near future 😉

I went through this today.  What a wonderful video for exam prep. Thanks a ton for your hardwork John

Excellent cram session John and very well structured. Good on you man and you have been doing some wonderful work in the tech community. God Bless you.

Man I watched a lot of AZ-104 vids and tutorials, but yours is on another level. Thanks a lot for the hard work to deliver in such high quality. Much love

Really appreciate your dedication in producing amazing content.

I passed the AZ-104 today. I watched this exact video multiple times this week before my exam and it helped me immensely. Thanks for putting this together, you&#39;re an awesome teacher John.

Thank you for this. I have just sat and passed my exam 2 hours ago. Took the exam in Sydney, Australia online. For anyone interested, I am a Network Security Engineer working full time. I studied for 1 week and passed with a mark of 960. I was presented with 35 multiple choice questions to complete within 45 minutes. I finished the test in 30 mins and had 15 mins to review the questions I flagged. My top tip for anyone planning to sit for the exam in 2024 is, make sure you take the time and read each question very very carefully. It&#39;s a word play from Microsoft. Very easy to make mistakes even when you know the answer with 100% certainty. Good Luck.

Passed my exam this week. Big thank you to you John! I should not have bothered with the on site course, your Study Cram taught me much more. I still cannot believe you are doing all this amazing work for free. It is exactly what the world needs.

Cramming a few hours before. Just finished this video with exactly 58 minutes until my exam! Update: I passed and am certified. Thank you, John!

Just passed my AZ-900. Thanks John, going to be looking at your beautiful face for many hours over next few months while I get more certs under my belt. Keep up the great work and thanks again.

Still helping us pass the AZ-900 in 2024! Appreciate your work, John. Starting my AZ-104 journey now.

I passed my exam last week after completing the Microsoft learn path, watching all of the videos in your playlist, and then this final study cram the morning of the exam. Thank you so much, John!! It wasn&#39;t until after I watched everything that I realized there were no ads lol! You really are an unsung hero.

I really appreciate all the work you put into these videos John. Fantastic content and so well presented.  You&#39;ve helped me in my career a lot.

Many thanks John, just passed the exam, very comprehensive and way better than other training vids on Youtube. Not only was the hours spent watching your training massively beneficial for the exam, I seemed to have also developed a huge desire to get some pecks as well. Maybe you can do a cram study on that as well.

Your approach to teaching is a blessing. Your willingness to provide continual updates and valid information is phenomenal. Thanks for your interest in helping!

This channel has done more for me than my college has in 4 years.

A word to those watching this. Take great notes, and WATCH THIS WHOLE SERIES TWICE! You will get a lot more out of it, and truly understand Azure. Absolutley the best training series I have watched.

Yes, this course is updated for May 2022 lol. It says it in the playlist description but people still keep asking :) There were 7 lessons added which are all appended with May 2022. Thanks

John, this course has been absolutely amazing! Passed my AZ-900 10 minutes ago, wouldn’t have done it without this course. You make things so simple and easy to understand. You are an inspiration. Thanks again!

Thank you, Sir. For being so helpful to all of us. Greatly appreciated!

I can&#39;t thank you enough for these videos. I&#39;ve got ADHD, and when I started with the reading material it was so overwhelming. Even though i work with all these IT elements on a daily basis. Your videos have made my creative brain light-up and brining it all together when I &quot;open the books&quot;. So, so thankful!

Hi John, This is quite an exhaustive very useful set of lessons on Azure. You are a true lecturer, explaining each and every aspect of the certifications succinctly, in an organised and well-structured manner. I ended up breezing through the lessons, given I had started with Microsoft Learn and then added Pluralsight as an additional supplement - a must for me, being an Azure newbie! In the end, I passed my cert exam with flying colours! I am looking forward to taking the next steps in my Azure journey, which will include more of your lessons/lectures! Thank you very much.

NOTE - The May 2022 changes just rearranged things for the most part. I did add additional lessons to the full course to cover the key new things and while some things were removed I cover slightly more anyway to help understanding so left in. This cram still applies post changes.

Note - During recording the screen demos failed to record audio (doh!) hence I had to add voice over after for those which is why the transition is a little odd. 🤷‍♂️
