Showbiz & A.G.

Showbiz & A.G. is a highly influential hip-hop duo from The Bronx, New York City, formed in 1990. The group comprises producer Showbiz and MC A.G. They are also recognized as core members of the legendary D.I.T.C. (Diggin' in the Crates Crew), a collective renowned for its significant impact on East Coast hip-hop. Showbiz & A.G. were among the first artists to emerge from D.I.T.C., establishing a pioneering sound characterized by its gritty weight and a deep respect for hip-hop's foundational elements.

Drawing inspiration from fellow D.I.T.C. member Lord Finesse, Showbiz & A.G. cultivated an underground following by independently distributing their demo tapes. This grassroots approach led to the release of their debut single, "Soul Clap" b/w "Party Groove." The track became a club anthem and garnered significant airplay on Yo! MTV Raps, propelling their self-titled EP, released in March 1992, to success.
