Don't overthink it podcastEPISODE 35: That be me! Feat: Dennis "AGANEE" Jenkins & DulaThis episode was a long time coming. Abdullah & myself Sat down and got a good origin story from one of Harrisburg’s top if not the best producer out of central Pennsylvania Dennis “AGANEE” Jenkins (@therealaganee). We talk about his musical upbringing to first studio equipment to first beats placements Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins Los Angeles you name it. Very informative episode for producers and basically for anybody who wanted to know about Ag because he’s pretty much a hermit LOL. Definitely one for the books. Enjoy!
