Album Notes & Community Reviews

A cornerstone release of the legendary D.I.T.C. collective, the Bronx duo's debut is a quintessential artifact of the 90s East Coast boom-bap renaissance. Showbiz's dusty, impeccably chopped jazz loops provide a gritty, hard-hitting foundation for A.G.'s relentless, street-level lyricism and breathless flow.
