Azie (pronounced "AZ") Faison Jr. was born in the Bronx, New York on November 10, 1964. A fire destroyed his tenement in 1970, forcing the family to relocate to the famed Sugar Hill section of Harlem, New York.
While childhood friend Rich Porter began his rise to drug dealing as early as 12 years old, (selling joints, fake hashish, and later heroin) young Faison worked in a neighborhood dry cleaners. In 1983, the movie Scarface debuted, and its main character, Tony Montana's lust for money and power through selling cocaine captivated youth around the country. Many drug dealers that were teenagers at the time of the movie insist that Scarface introduced them to the wealth that cocaine could provide. Azie maintains that the movie strongly influenced his decision to become a hustler. In that same year, a Dominican cocaine supplier approached Azie about selling the drug, and the rest was history.
