Rochester, NY emcee Azariah and producer Laddie dropped new visuals for "What You Not" this morning. First premiered by Paka The Plug the track/visuals feature Times Change of fellow Roc-City rhyme collective Da’ Cloth.
Watch "What You Not" Below:
The track appears on the newly released Azariah and Laddie collaborative project Phase III: Blessed And Highly Favored. As evidenced by the III in the title, this is the third full-length collaboration between Laddie and Azariah including 2017’s Phase One: Lord Of The Underground and last year’s Phase II: The Return Of Sloppy Smooth. Speaking on Times Change’s inclusion here Azariah said "I had the opportunity to work with Illanoise on Phase One and MAV on Phase II so it was only right I had another member of Da Cloth on Phase III and Times laced it nicely on this project".
The only other collaborator on the project is Azariah’s frequent rhyme-partner Jae Hussle. In addition to his projects with Laddie, Azariah and producer Kidd Called Quest form the duo Young Black And Gifted. As Young Black And Gifted Azariah and Kidd have been dropping many projects and loosies in recent years. Recently, Azariah dropped the Self Proclaimed King LP with Hometeam Producer Onaje Jordan.
In addition to his work with Azariah, Laddie has done extensive work with Klass Murda (of 38 Spesh’s Trust Gang).
