Free Music Review: The Return of Show & AG! (4 stars)
Hit: 4 Stars

It's been 10 years since Show & AG graced us with some new material (1998's "Full Scale"). It's now 2008, and this legendary east coast duo returns to prove that they are still a force to be reckoned with. "Live Hard" features 7 all-new tracks by the duo, and 5 corresponding instrumentals. So what we get is a short & sweet EP. And it's so sweet that I must've bumped this a solid 25 times since I bought it. Pure and simple - every track hits. Whether he's dissing R. Kelly over the DJ Premier produced gem "Business As Usual" or trading verses with O.C. over my personal favorite "Land Of The Free", there are simply no misses with the production or rapping in these 7 excellent comeback tracks. That said, it's obvious that Show & AG still have what it takes to breathe new life back into hip-hop. If this EP is any indication of what they have in store for us in the future, I can only welcome these veterans back with open arms.

Live Hard Poster

Esteemed Diggin' In The Crates (D.I.T.C.) members Show & A.G (Andre the Giant) first gained notoriety in the early-to-mid '90s with two critically-acclaimed albums, Runaway Slave and Goodfellas. Fast forward to 2008, Show & A.G. have been busy individually, but are back together after a 10 year hiatus on Live Hard. The album is directed at both the new generation of Rap fans too young to have done the "Soul Clap" and also to those who are already familiar with the boom bap legacy of Show & A.G. The duo continues their reign as supreme rap gods with minimal guest appearances. Fellow D.I.T.C. Rap General O.C. makes an appearance on "Land of the Free" and every track is produced by Show except for "Magic" which is produced by E-Blaze. DJ Premier also lends his patented cuts and scratches on "Business As Usual." When it comes to representing D.I.T.C. to the fullest, Show & A.G. have always been worthy representatives and unwavering in their quest to bring back truth and realness to the rap game. Their latest offering is an admirable addition to the team's catalogue, with thoughtful lyrics and laid-back joints for fans to enjoy.
