Whether you called him 8-Off, 8-Off The Assassin, Agallah, Ag, Don Bishop, Don Bishop Agallah, Agallah The Don Bishop, Angel Aguliar, Agaski, Brad Piff, Agalar, Al Ghul, Agallah Faro or Abdul Swagallah doesn't really matter. Not many can have a music career spanning from 1994 until now. At the age of 20 he garnered noteriety producing for Champ MC & production on Onyx "All We Got Iz Us" album. In '95 he completed the EastWest records debut "Wrap Your Lips Around This" (handling most of the production on it.) that got shelved but produced 2 singles a video that could be seen on Yo! MTV Raps called "Ghetto Girl" (which can be viewed on Youtube) with a cameo by a then unknown Ashanti. Bootlegs of this album would follow & gain him attention in underground Hip-Hop circles. From there he would continue to produce & formed a short lived group with Parrish Smith of EPMD called D.B.D (Death B4 Dishonor). Other members included: Ike Eyes, Deke O'Mally, 215 & J. Boogs. D.B.D. would soon disband but produced one single & a demo tape. He would continue to produce & later linked with Shiest Bubz & Un Kasa to form the Dipset affiliated Purple City. They would go on to create many memorable mixtapes & Agallah was finally able to officially release his 2006 debut album "You Already Know". Nothing lasts forever including Purple City. They would disolve after internal business disputes. From 2007-Now, Agallah has continued his output as an artist & producer maintaing relevance dropping many mixtapes & indie albums that continue to display the talent of Angel Aguilar! He has a catalog that's in a league of it's own.
This includes most everything he's done. You know the drill. If you notice anything missing please let me know & if you have it, an upload post to the CBox would be nice!
