Mugshot Music

Although they released the little-heard EP *Work Hard* in 2007, Showbiz & AG haven\'t dropped an official full-length album since 1995\'s *Goodfellas*. Despite the long breaks between projects, they remain one of hip-hop\'s most respected duos, thanks mostly to their landmark debut, *Runaway Slave*, and an extensive catalog of work both within and outside of the Diggin in the Crates crew. Hot on the heels of their excellent *Preloaded* mixtape, they hit us with *Mugshot Music*: 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.\"
