He also knows how to pick nice beats, and you can listen to two new tracks from him below, taken from the upcoming Nehruvia: The Nehruvian EP.
Agallah – ‘Get Your Shit Together’ feat. Big Daddy Kane
Agallah has dropped another new joint from his Agalito’s Way album, and this time he’s brought along the one and only Big Daddy Kane. Its not the most exciting track in the world, but we’re still suckers for anything that has Kane’s name attached to it. Listen to Get Your Shit Together below.
