BRONX BORN, JAMAICAN RAISED GONE, IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED (AND STILL UNSIGNED) UNDERGROUND ARTIST THAT RESIDEIN "THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS." MANY HERE THERE ARE; BUT YET, GONEJOHNSON HAS COME A LONG WAY. WITH MUSIC EXPERIENCE IN GONE'SBACKGROUND, IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT THE FIRST SONGS YOU HEAR WILLSOUND LIKE HE HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE THE DEVIL WAS A BOY. "ITSOUNDS SO EASY FOR HIM TO MAKE ME BOB MY HEAD AND RECITE WITHHIM." SAYS GARY KRATES, LOCAL HIP HOP PRODUCER. GONE JOHNSONHAS WORKED WITH UNDERGROUND & INDEPENDENT LABELS ON THEIRARTISTS, WRITTING SONGS FOR R&B VOCALISTS, REGGAE ARTIST, ASWELL AS RAPPERS. ALTHOUGH NONE OF HIS WORK WAS BROUGHT INTOTHE MAINSTREAM, AND HE NEVER RECIEVED HIS DUE CREDIT FORNUMEROUS SONGS, THE EXPERINCES AND KNOWLEDGE WAS MORE THANENOUGH. TAKING EVERY CHANCE HE GETS TO GRAB AN EAR, HE HAS ALONG LIST OF COLLABORATIONS WITH MANY LOCAL ARTIST ACROSSAMERICA, FROM TEXAS RAPPER "YUNG STREET" TO DELAWARE R&BARTIST "POIN DEXTER".HAVING SHARED THE STAGE WITH SHYHEIM, (FORMERLY OF WU-TANG)LOADA LUXX, (106 AND PARK CHAMP)E6, (MTV'S FROM G'S TO GENTS)AND OTHER BUDDING STARS, HIS STAGE PERFORMANCE IS VERY SOLID.HIS SONG WRITING SKILL IS ONLY MATCHED BY HISIMAGINATION WHICH HE NEVER HOLDS BACK, YOU CAN HEAR IT WHEN HESPEAKS THAT HE HAS A VERY CLEAR PICTURE OF WHAT HE IS SAYING, ANDHE REALLY WANTS TO TAKE YOU THERE.WITH THE SONGS HE MAKES, AND THE WAY HE SOUNDS ONLY GETTINGBETTER, IT MAKES SENSE TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM NOW AND IN THE (NEAR)FUTURE.WORDS FROM THE MAN HIMSELF:
"All of my music is either concept song; varying from the verses starting and ending a certain way, a certain subject, a certain rhyme scheme, or a story. I'm very lyrical, and love playing with word so I may go over your head sometimes, but i always make sense, also you might not know what I'm taking about at all, because I speak on real subjects, for instance on "streets of barker", a song about my neighborhood and the things that went on....the average person wouldn't have a clue of what I'm talking about. At the same time it turns out people not even from my hood is feeling it.I don't hold my tounge, I speak very bluntly on the way I feel about everything in general. I hear all the time that I should watch what I say if I'm trying to get a "deal", but that's not my MAIN goal, it is a goal I mean, even the twisted ass parent that raised the joker said "if you do something good, get paid for it." But I love this, I wanna hopefully turn this into a life long career but I'm just not your average rapper, and it seems like that is what's in demand. Maybe when a new generation of lyricist take over and start getting appreciated, i'll be one."
