Agerman (born Ramone Curtis) is a rapper from Oakland, California. He started rapping at an early age (before his teens) and because he looked older/bigger for his age he was given the nickname “The Teenager”. When he turned 18 he decided his nickname would not work for much longer so he took the “Ager” from Teenager and added “Man” to become “Agerman”.

Around 1994, he formed the group Dual Committee with fellow Oakland rapper Keak Da Sneak (born Charles Kente Williams); the two attended Bret Harte Junior High School together. They signed a record deal with Sacramento’s AWOL Records while they were still minors. The duo appeared on two songs on C-Bo’s “The Autopsy” EP in 1994 and left AWOL Records shortly after realizing they record deal was not binding due to them being minors and having had no parental/legal guardian representation when they signed their contracts.

In 1995, the duo added another childhood acquaintance of Agerman’s, Bart (born Lamore Jacks). The three Oakland rappers became the group 3xKrazy, releasing the “Sick-O” E.P. in 1995 and “Stackin Chips” in 1997.

Alleged drug abuse by some of its members, problems with their business managers and the desire to pursue solo careers eventually led to the group disbanding shortly after “Stackin Chips” was released. Agerman’s first solo album “$uccess The Best Revenge” was released in 1999, followed in 2000 by the “Dual Committee' collaboration album with Keak Da Sneak.

Around 1999, Agerman, faced with significant adversity in his personal life as well as his rap career (after falling out with Keak Da Sneak), decided to make serious changes in his life by focusing on the church and positive messages instead of the perceived violent lyrics associated with gangsta/reality rap.

He has released numerous solo albums focused on Christian/Gospel rap including “Kingdom Business” (2001), “From Krazy 2 Christ” ‎(2002), “The Truth” ‎(2003), “Tried By The Fire” ‎(2005), “Remember Me?” ‎(2006), “New Day” ‎(2007), “The Prediction (The Time Is Now!)” ‎(2008) and “Mr. Curtis” (2009).

In 2011 he surprisingly returned with “The Streets Made Me Do It” which also contained edgier lyrics and subject matter, closer to street/reality rap than to the Christian/Gospel rap he had previously released. His subsequent albums were once again mostly Christian/Gospel rap, including “Raw & Uncut” in 2011, “Slang Talk” (2013) and “Candy Store” in 2019.
