Mugshot Music by Showbiz & A.G.

Mugshot Music is a Hip-Hop album by Showbiz & A.G., originally released in 2012.

About

Although they released the little-heard EP <i>Work Hard</i> in 2007, Showbiz & AG haven't dropped an official full-length album since 1995's <i>Goodfellas</i>. Despite the long breaks between projects, they remain one of hip-hop's most respected duos, thanks mostly to their landmark debut, <i>Runaway Slave</i>, and an extensive catalog of work both within and outside of the Diggin in the Crates crew. Hot on the heels of their excellent <i>Preloaded</i> mixtape, they hit us with <i>Mugshot Music</i>: 16 tracks of grown-man music, displaying Show's neck-bending, mid-tempo beatscapes and AG's always on-point, super-visual lyricism. Guest features come from OC, the late Party Arty, and A Bless (of Natural Elements), as well as singers Jeffrey Nortey and Frank V. Though the BPMs are slower and the R&B choruses more frequent, this is still high-grade stuff from two of the Boogie Down's finest. Check out "I Luv Her When I'm High," "Timeless," "Michelle," and "Walkin on Air."
