Review: A.G. - Everything's Berri



From “West siiiide!” to “one love” and even the essential “keep it real”, there are plenty of sayings that have floated through the world of Hip-Hop over the years. Some stuck around and some, well, they just won’t go away (“no homo”). Making a strong challenge to be the next useless catch phrase I blurt out whenever given the opportunity is Everything’s Berri; the title and quasi mantra of longtime D.I.T.C. member A.G.’s new album.
