The track, “What You Not,” 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 which includes 2017’s Phase One: Lord Of The Underground and last year’s Phase II: The Return Of Sloppy Smooth. Of Times Change’s inclusion, featured on the track, 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 stand-alone singles in recent years. Recently, Azariah dropped the Self Proclaimed King LP with Hometeam Producer Onaje Jordan.
