About

A highly-skilled New York emcee and full-fledged Diggin' In The Crates crew member, A.G. first blazed the mic on Lord Finesse's 1989 debut The Funky Technician. He then teamed up with Showbiz, which led to their exceptional, classic album, 1992's Runaway Slave. The two followed with another album and EP, and A.G. continued to record independent singles and other projects with his D.I.T.C. cohorts. On his first solo outing, The Dirty Version, A.G. unleashes his fiery, witty flows over heavy East Coast beats, enlisting Gang Starr, Fat Joe, and assorted guests to spice up the mix. D.I.T.C.'s long-awaited group album Worldwide hit the streets in early 2000.
