While working full-time as a bank manager and father by day, Adrian Villagomez would hang up his suit at 5 pm, head into the studio and become A-Villa by night. A self-taught producer, he would make beats for years before releasing his debut album Carry on Tradition in 2014. Not many producers can gather the biggest names in rap for their debut album, but A-Villa came through with features from Action Bronson, Big K.R.I.T, Freddie Gibbs, Blu, BJ the Chicago Kid, and AZ.
