Smoke On Records presents: A.Z.Æs 1991 solo release ôStreet Wiseö on CD,
very limited edition!
Azie Faison is a former drug dealer who earned more than $100,000 a week
selling cocaine in Harlem, New York, during the peak of AmericaÆs
ôWar on Drugsö, between 1983-1990.
AZ and his two other Harlem partners, Alpo and Rich Porter, were portrayed
in the 2002 movie Paid in Full and a documentary titled Game Over.AZ also
gave an Interview to DjVlad TV to tell his story. In 1987, an attempt to rob
FaisonÆs stash house (place where he kept drugs or money) left 3 people dead
and 3 seriously injured. He himself was shot nine times in the robbery
attempt,
but survived and left the drug game to embark on a mission to disavow his
former life and steer youth away from the path he once chose. In 1989,
he formed the rap group Mobstyle.
In 1990, his friend Rich Porter and his little brother Donnell Porter were
tragically murdered. In 1991, A.Z. recorded the track ôWhatÆs Going on Blackö
which focused on these issues. Alpo later confessed to the murder of Rich
Porter.
An article on the murder of Donnell Porter was featured on the January 30,
1990
New York Times.
