Some days, I feel Showbiz is the strongest and most consistent out of the four D.I.T.C. producers, an extremely impressive production outfit. Other days it might be Buckwild or Lord Finesse, though most days Diamond D takes the top spot, but if we're talking strictly consistenty I think Showbiz is the one holding it down.. But what this inability to pick a favorite is a testament to how incredibly tight D.I.T.C. and their unique brand of hip-hop really are. What's maybe most impressive is that since their start no other production team have constantly been so brilliant, and that goes for all four of them. One interesting aspect of this beat quartet is that while they all pack individually distinct styles; no matter who of them was credited for a mid-90s record you would probably instantly recognize the song as being one of the works of D.I.T.C. Interesting trivia in this aspect is the song "Devil's Son" by Big L, which despite being produced by Showbiz has turned up on compilations for Lord Finesse and Buckwild as well. This is because they were all mentioned as producers on the 12" which in fact listed the four producers involved in L's forthcoming solo debut.
Rodney Lemay, or Showbiz as the hip-hop World has come to know him, has during his career functioned as the head honcho for the Diggin' in the Crates collective and their material. Not only was he one of its founding member, and releasing the first DITC posse cut ("Soul Clap)" in 1991, but his productions have mostly been in house - working hard to ensure that the DITC branch Always represents quality. He was the main producer on the '94 DITC fam compilation that went unreleased until 2006, and he acted as both an exec and as the main musical produucer on the collective's Tommy Boy debut ("Worldwide") in 1999. But what most people remember his musical contributions from are from his work as a duo with AG. Between early 1992 and 1998 they released no less than four Classic records ("Soul Clap", "Runaway Slave", "Goodfellas", "Full Scale EP"). He also made several contributions to Lord Finesse's two first albums, AG's solo Projects, Diamond D solo debut, Fat Joe's debut as well as some wonderfully dope outside placements on records by KRS-One, Sadat X, Big Punisher, Buckshot LeFonque, Sadat x to name a few. In other words, after getting his firstt placement in 1989, Show has stayed a prolific producer who rarely lets the quality stray. The following compilation follows Showbiz throughout his musical output over the years, so get ready to blast the volume and get that neck snapping! ENJOY THIS ONE... I KNOW I DO!!!
