Latest Single From Forthcoming Trinity Debut Asserts The Trio’s Dominance Takes Aim At Unworthy Emcees
Two decades and countless classic albums into their already legendary careers, A.G. of Diggin’ In The Crates (D.I.T.C.), Sadat X of Brand Nubian, and DJ Jab, owner and founder of Fat Beats Records, continue to show and prove as the super group Trinity, and step it up again with their new single, “20 In,” which celebrates the group’s roots and turns the mirror on today’s hollow hustlers by begging the simple question: “If you have nothing to say, why are you in the game?”
The “20 In” music video, directed by Young Studios, provides perfectly adequate visuals to accompany Trinity’s true-school aesthetic; an antenna-sporting television, Adidas signature shell-toe sneakers draped over-top, is bustling static before the group’s three members break through. Atop DJ Jab’s thumping bass, boisterous brass, and well-placed organ wails, A.G. and Sadat X throw their weight around in brazen call-and-response verses that detail the intense amount of legwork that the trio has put in the game. “You make your name a brand, do you think you can?/ Build a legacy it better be your own hands,” A.G. and Sadat take turns rapping. “What’s your strategy can I see your playbook?/ It has to be more than MySpace and Facebook.”
The Background:
The group Trinity is comprised of emcees AG (Showbiz & AG), Sadat X (Brand Nubian) and DJ Jab (Fat Beats Records Owner). All three individuals have left their own imprint in the hip-hop world and by joining forces, Trinity is gearing up to bring forth the sounds of old and bring back the boom-bap hip-hop that is missing in today’s musical landscape. AG is the emcee for the critically acclaimed underground group, Showbiz & AG hailing from the Bronx, NY. Sadat X is part of the famed alternative hip-hop group Brand Nubian and is well known for his politically charged lyrics and poignant delivery. DJ Jab aka Joseph Abajian is the owner of Fat Beats Records and is responsible for developing yesterday’s and today’s most well respected underground hip-hop artists. Together, Trinity is set to take the industry by storm and leave their mark on the game.
