Global AzN | ‘Loveless’ Is Authentic, Smooth and Refreshing
You may already be familiar with Global Azn, with songs like ‘Dark Out‘ amassing over 4+ million plays on Spotify and 400k+ plays on Youtube in addition to it being released by the famous, NoJumper YouTube channel. The hip-hop artist is a key member of ‘Global Gang‘ with Global Dan being at the forefront of this movement. It seem’s as if AzN is right on pace to becoming a household name too as well, similar to his popular counterpart.
Global AzN’s style is one that can be compared to Juice WRLD, as well as his own branded twists that he blends in with subtle bars of new age rap. His music brings out a punk rock aspect to hip-hop that makes you go hard and feel vulnerable at the same time. His voice is sooth sounding and melodic with flows easily digestible that loop inside your conscious, as well as dignify you to rock out shamelessly in any setting. In his song, ‘Timeless‘ he flexes on the world in global fashion by addressing every body and everyone, from haters to his girls. In his ways, his signature is marked with incredibly catchy hooks that leave your ears bubbling in awe.
Stacking all this money even though my flow is priceless.
Now its now or never, girl you left me with no options.
With flows this catchy and melodious, it is hard to believe that AzN has only been in the game for 1 year. He revealed to Rap Fiesta, that he began writing and recording music in September of 2017. Being that his homie Global Dan and him grew up together and were always freestyling, he decided to try his hand at music. Boy, are we glad he did. Although Global Gang’s chief in command is undoubtedly led by Global Dan, a few google searches and youtube comments will indisputably lead you to believe that the second most highly touted member is AzN. You will definitely be hearing a lot more of him soon.
Global AzN just dropped an organic and melodically-packed 7 track EP titled ‘Loveless’ filled with straight hits. From front to back, this project is a clean listen through, but you might get stuck replaying tracks like ‘Choosin‘ and ‘Timeless‘. His creative flows throughout the EP shift seamlessly. The dude seriously developed the skill to straight body hooks. The playback value on here is sky high. You won’t be able to stop rewinding these tracks. Truly, a special body of work from the superbly skilled hook master, Global Azn.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Let’s start with the basics. How old are you and where you from?
I’m 22 and I’m from Rockville, Maryland next to DC.
How did you get involved in the hip-hop game?
I’ve only been in the game for a year. If you heard my song called ‘Lifestyle’ with Global Dan, that was the first written, recorded song I ever posted. I never made music before this past September. Before, I was just doing side jobs. Now music is my career path.
I’m going to take a wild guess based on your name and assume you have some asian blood in you. How did you come up with that name?
Yeah, I do. Im half Indonesian, half Iranian. They only spoke english to me though. My family split and my mom sent me to Indonesia when I was 4, so I picked the language up there. I wish I spoke Farsi though. I got my name from playing video games and my clans name was AzN.
Are your parents supportive of you chasing music?
Yeah, my moms supportive. She was happy that I found what I want. She told me to go for it.
A little google search revealed that you play League of Legends? Is that really you, and if so do you dabble in any other video games?
Na, that’s not me bro. Somebody’s posing as me. That’s crazy though.
It’s awesome how you rep Global Gang and aim to have collective success rather than individual ones. How would you pitch Global Gang to the world?
We’re very diverse, but cohesively different. We’re global gang, but were not really a gang. Were a collective of friends that make dope music and grew up together. We decided to take on this journey and all offer different styles. Global Gang is a family.
How did you meet Global Dan and get involved in Global gang?
Dan’s my homie from way back. Thats my homie since 4th grade elementary school. We used to freestyle all the time. Then one day I freestyled some shit with Dan and he thought it was hot. The very next day we went to the studio and that’s how it happened. I was very blessed to be with a lot of people that are musically talented.
Are you exclusive to working with the Global Gang or are there other people that you’re working with?
Definitely want to work with dope artists outside of Global Gang. I personally dont like working with random people though. If I work with you, I have to like your music and you as a person. I’m definitely open to that though.
Your signature stamp on your music is really your catchy and melodious hooks. What is your writing process like when coming up with flows like we hear on ‘Timeless’?
Starts out with freestyling. Going on the mic and feeling it out. Im very blessed to have a music ear. I know how to compose the sound of the music before hand, but I’ll record a reference. I’ll usually listen to my reference while I’m recording so I don’t lose sight of what I’m going for.
Most artists now are delving into different aspects of music. Are you strictly an artist or do you produce/mix as well?
I definitely want to start producing. I made some dope ass beats in Garage Band before I was even writing. Once I kind of master writing, I’ll get into that. I don’t want to dabble into many things until I got everything down to the science.
What is the biggest struggle you deal with in the music game?
Getting my music heard. Getting the listeners that I deserve, getting it playlisted. I’m an independent artist. The two biggest things I need are money to fund my career, and relationships that I need to establish.
