It’s been a minute since we heard from The Outsidaz, a crew at the top of the Jersey Underground Hip-Hop food chain. Member Az Izz got some new fire to burn your face masks off with lead single “Gettin It,” from upcoming July release, Dopeliss.

Despite a five year self-imposed layoff, Az Izz confidently rides thumping, horn-laden production while holding court with top shelf punchlines, rhyme schemes, and that signature Outsidaz delivery. He raps:

Time waits for no man, you’re programmed/walk this way like Run DMC, for the loud of the Lohan
I get it for the low fam, like Reggie I’m the dope man/slanging bud and blow, right out of a coke can
Here to raise the bar like Conan’s arms
leaving you bleeding, like a bitch with no tampons
roll up a Backwood, these niggas taking a long damn time/you in the right hood, throwing up the wrong gang signs
now you stuck, can’t get outta Wayward Pines
I’m not JJ, but I’m having real Good Times
I used to be in these streets committing real hood crimes

East Orange compatriot Drift slides through with a solid verse, but the eyebrow-raising comes on the third verse, where Az Izz sends some not so subtle jabs at a Detroit rapper who’s government name is Ryan Montgomery. Do with that information what you will.

Also, stay locked in as Planet Ill is scheduled to speak with the unsung hero of the Outsidaz when Dopeliss drops a couple months from now in an interview where we pick his brain about the art of emceeing, New Jersey’s impact on the culture, and a myriad of other subjects.
