Treats #55 - Showbiz & AG "I'm Convinced"

This one came via Unkut which came via the Showbiz & AG Broken Chains demo LP on Freestyle Records. Unreleased (aka never heard before) Showbiz & AG produced by Diamond D. And if you're paying attention and keeping score at home, this Rap Treat is replacing the Kool G. Rap one. You'll see why soon enough!

Showbiz & AG - Party Groove/Soul Clap EP

This is the whole "Party Groove"/"Soul Clap" EP, but the 12" with both songs qualifies as one of THE GREATEST 12 INCHES OF ALL TIME so I'm counting it (every version on the 12" is also on this EP which is why I posted the EP and not the 12"). This was Showbiz & AG's debut as a group and in my books the best D.I.T.C. release there is. Everything on here is classic, but "Party Groove" and "Soul Clap" are MONSTER JAMS! That's right, MONSTER FUCKING JAMS!!!
