Blessed with an innate sense of melody, Compton artist Azjah crosses boundaries with her sharp storytelling. Connecting with a fellow riser from the opposite coast, Azjah recruits DUSTY LOCANE for “Try It” (Remix).
Dominated by a mellow minor-key guitar loop, “Try It” bursts with an aggression that belies its instrumental, as Azjah warns potential enemies that they don’t want “no drama.” Coming through with his basso rasp, DUSTY gets on the same wavelength, showing off his appealing singing voice as he promises to “set a n**** up with a booby trap.”
“Try It” (Remix) is an updated version of “Try It,” a highlight from Azjah’s 1:03 AM project. Spanning 10 tracks, 1:03 AM is a showcase for Azjah’s easy melodies, emotive expression, and diaristic songwriting. Her songs are tough and vulnerable in equal measure, often commenting on her latest relationship or her upbringing in Compton.
