"Fresh Azimiz" ("fresh as I'm is") is a single by rapper Bow Wow from his fourth studio album Wanted. It is the third song after his singles "Let Me Hold You" and "Like You". It features J-Kwon and Jermaine Dupri. The song was produced by Dupri and LRoc. The song became his third Top 40 single from his 2005 album Wanted, peaking at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Although released through Columbia Records, the lyrics on the 2nd verse of the original song explains that Bow Wow still has close ties to So So Def Recordings ("Records say Columbia, but I'm So So man").
Rumored diss to Havoc
Rumors circulated that the song was meant to attack rapper Havoc, with the line, "Queens nigga grimey retarded, you know." The line in question is actually borrowed from Mobb Deep's song, "Get Away" on the classic album Infamy. Bow Wow later confirmed that the line was not aimed at Havoc's father, T.I. or Prodigy himself. Because of that, T.I. dedicated the song of Urban Legend entitled "U Don't Know Me" with the line "What you looking at? pussy nigga, you don't know me".
A remix of this song features rapper Mike Jones, replacing Bow Wow's 2nd verse. There is a video for the remix, with additional scenes with Bow Wow & Jones throughout the video and Bow Wow's verse removed and Mike Jones' instead comes in and raps. Jones also makes an appearance on the original version's video.
