Nas, 50 Cent & More Give AZ His Flowers in New Documentary

On Wednesday, a first trailer for ‘Jewels, Gems & Treasures’ was released. Featuring Nas and 50 Cent, the film will chronicle the life of AZ.

The legacy of AZ will be unpacked in new documentary Jewels, Gems & Treasures. On Wednesday, fans of the Brooklyn rapper were treated with a surprise trailer, with cameos from Nas, 50 Cent, Buckwild and EMI executive Daniel Glass, who signed AZ to his first record deal. The documentary is also titled after AZ’s 2015 book.

“AZ would say some slippery shit,” 50 says in the trailer.

“He created a lane for himself,” Nas added. “He didn’t want to go where anybody else went, where I went, where this guy went.”

“Never did I think that Nas being signed was an open door for me to get on. We both laughed–the next thing you know we [were] on the Illmatic promo tour,” AZ explained.

“A lot of cats that I know from around the world look at AZ like, ‘Yo, he’s one of the coldest rappers ever,’” Buckwild says in the trailer.
