AZ first became known by appearing on Nas' landmark 1994 album, Illmatic, as his hook on “Life’s A Bitch” still resounds today and he was also featured on Illmatic’s opening opus “The Genesis”. AZ was the only guest feature on Illmatic and soon thereafter he signed with EMI and released his own debut LP Doe Or Die in 1995 to widespread critical acclaim. The album's lead single, "Sugar Hill", became one of AZ's major commercially successful records as a solo artist, reaching #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and achieving Gold status. In 2002, he released Aziatic from which his single "The Essence“ f/ Nas was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. AZ has since released four solo-LP’s (his solo release Undeniable also made a high debut on the Billboard charts) and worked with artists such as Nas, RZA, DJ Premier, Ghostface, Raekwon, Pete Rock, Buckwild, Trackmasters, Emile, Lil Fame, Phonte, Sheek Louch, Styles P, Foxy Brown, Beanie Sigel, Nottz, Baby Paul, Large Professor, Bink, MoSS, & Statik Selektah and remained a constant staple with fans and critics alike. 

Today, AZ is back and better than ever and to launch his forthcoming Doe Or Die II release.

823 is the numerical representation of the phrase 'Thinking Of You'. 

A creative project founded by the artist Ta-ku, 823 was born from an appreciation for the people, places and ideas that inspire us and push us forward. 

In that spirit, we are proud to present a series of recordings that showcase the musical and visual output of emerging artists.

The Off Daze is a Kentucky based group consisting of Deacon the Villain & Natti from Cunninlynguists and longtime friend and collaborator Sheisty Khrist. At the end of July 2018, The Off Daze made their debut releasing the single “Twisted Love Song” announcing their work as a group and that an album would be coming soon. Not even three weeks later The Off Daze would release their debut album “Couple’s Skate”. The group defines their sound as “some intergalactic skating rink meets strip club date night music”. The media took onto “Couple’s Skate” immediately with physical editions selling out just as fast. The album would pick up coverage from HipHopDX, 2DopeBoyz, Austrailian platform The Music and more. “Couple’s Skate” would also go on to be one of Bandcamp’s Best Hip-Hop Releases for August 2018. After the accolades and celebration of “Couple’s Skate” some thought this collaboration would be a one-time psychedelic adventure. However, The Off Daze don’t plan on releasing a sophomore album in the conventional sense, instead the trio will release singles as they please. The Off Daze isn't just the "Couple's Skate" sound. “That was just a snapshot in time...For the future, we're just going to follow whatever vibe hits us then press go.”
