Angel Aguilar (born on May 8, 1974, in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York), better known by his stage names Agallah, 8-Off, Swagallah and Agallah Don Bishop, is an American rapper and producer. He was a member of The Diplomats-affiliated group Purple City and he is the CEO of his label Propain Campain. In addition to producing his own music, he also produced tracks for Busta Rhymes, Remy Ma, The Diplomats, Guru, Rockin' Squat, Sean Price, Saigon, Game Theory, Mobb Deep and Big Pun. He released the major-label single “Ghetto Girl” (

) on East West America/Elektra Records in 1995. The song was part of his debut album “Wrap Your Lips Around This”, that was never released because the label shelved it. In 2012, Wrap Your Lips Around This became available for digital download from Amazon.com and iTunes after being unreleased for many years. In 1997, he featured on R.A. the Rugged Man’s track “Till My Heart Stops” on the Rawkus Records Soundbombing compilation an underground classic. In early 1997, Agallah teamed up with EPMD member PMD and formed the hip hop group D.B.D. (Death B4 Dishonor). The other members of the group were Ike Eyes, 215 and Deke O'Malley. The group was short-lived but they recorded a demo album which featured artist Guru of Gang Starr, John Forté, Special Ed, and Lil Dap of Group Home. D.B.D. also released a single entitled “Feel This” which was produced by KRS-One’s brother Kenny Parker. In 2000, Agallah recorded the Sesame Street-themed single “Crookie Monster,” which became an underground hit, and featured production by The Alchemist. In 2002 he released another single on “Game Recordings”, the song “Rising To The Top” featuring his close friend Sean Price and Bazaar Royale, that was featured in the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto III and also as a bonus track on Sean Price’s debut album “Monkey Barz” in 2005 (

). A friendship with Shiest Bub led to the formation of Purple City Entertainment (also known as Purple City Productions) with Un Kasa, which attracted the attention of Dipset capo Jim Jones. Shiest had been doing promotional work for Cam'ron and Juelz Santana. For the new Purple City project, Agallah was christened “the Don Bishop”, with Shiest as “the Emperor.” Jones' enthusiasm for Ag’s track “Gangsta” garnered the producer/MC a slot on the Diplomats Volume 4 mixtape. Agallah’s profile as a solo artist has also expanded in the wake of Purple City’s rise, with the release of “You Already Know” (featuring appearances by Dead Prez and Nappy Roots, with production by DJ Premier and Alchemist) on Babygrande coupled with the release of the mixtape Propane Piff on Koch Records. “You Already Know"was supported by the two singles: "Club Hoppin'” and “New York Ryder Music” (

). Throughout his career Agallah has released several Eps and Mixtapes. His latest projects are:Agalito’s Way (2015, Propain Campain),Bo: The Legend of the Water Dragon (2016, Propain Campain) & Agnum Opus (2017, The Order Label).
