Showbiz & A.G. – In Trouble


Lifted from Show & A.G.’s upcoming Mugshot Music, we’ve got the Show-produced, Premo-scratched In Trouble.

This emanates that classic Show/A.G. sound which underground heads will clamour for. Those punchy horns so characteristic of Showbiz’s production down the years gives this the feel it wouldn’t be out of place on the duo’s albums of yesteryear.

Throwback Thursdays Vol 38

Her work was admired by masses across the globe, and her performance in 8 Mile was, for me, one of her best moments on the big screen.

Ever since joining the OTU team I’ve been looking forward to doing this review. Why? Not only is 8 Mile an awesome insight into the hip-hop world back in the mid nineties, but also because it showcases an array of hip-hop talent throughout the picture. You cannot get these on the OST released with the film, these are the tracks from the 90′s when the film was set. 7 years on from the film’s UK release date, I’ve got eleven absolute gems (the other two are essential to cover, but don’t achieve the minimum standard 4 BDK rating) to share with you over the next few minutes of your life and I guarantee they are going to make you feel more complete because of it…
