Album Notes & Community Reviews

On his fifth album 'AZ', French multi-instrumentalist and producer 23wa crafts an experimental and sonically dense world, blending alternative hip-hop with futuristic electronic beats and elements of jazz and soul. The artist's self-contained production approach results in a polished yet deeply personal project, with introspective French lyrics exploring themes of fear, memory, and personal growth across its 17 tracks. Featuring a wide array of collaborators, the album stands as a testament to the artist's singular and multifaceted creative vision.
