Elshad is a big name in Azerbaijani Rap, he's credited with being the most commercially successful rapper, and continued his rap-tastic lifestyle by going to jail on chargers of drug possession. I don't know if he still holds this title, I certainly see far more H.O.S.T. worship than Elshad Xose, but he's still respected.
My attitude towards him so far has been a bit ambivalent. From what I hear he's okay, but nothing has blown me away. Months ago I posted Gencelik, a nice summer jam, but it was too close to The Fresh Prince for me to truly take him seriously.
Eşq-Qǝrǝz however hovers closer to Missy Elliot and Timbaland when they were just getting into their Indian beats. Elshad creates a strong character in this track, it really seems as if he's a completely different person. He's seductive and smokey here; far more enticing and dangerous than what I've heard before, and simply from his vocal performance. I like it.
