Gangsta Cru On the Stoop

1, 2, 3... In the place to be. I go by the name GC!!! This is the beginning again y'all!! Sheena aka Gangsta Cru has returned so much doper. You don't know what to do with me and the game doesn't either. I'm what you call the hardcore, conscious rapper. Well don't even call me a rapper. I'm a lyricist in the truest. I write and it's just a portrait of my life or what is going on around it. Note: I am something like a journalist. I have my current event songs. (No bullshit that E! would cover... REAL SHIT!!) So it is what it is.
I'm holding it down for the Maryland area. 301 Up in the House!!! My hometown. I love it!! But check it out everyone. I'm trying to make music to make BLACK MUSIC better. I feel as though we're not doing it how we should. Now, I am not preaching for anyone to change what they're doing. I only control what I do. So as far as rap's un-holy trinity, (B's, N's, and H's) when they stop existing, I'll stop using those terms. You can't get rid of these words like you can't erase America's dark and disgusting past. But on a less political note...
MCing has always been my dream. So I have been working on my style and skills by writing up a hell of a catalogue. I wanted to drop a mixtape, but my producers went right and I went left. Steps aren't right so we need to choreograph that. But dig this, I'm still preparing to shut shit down. If you don't hear me ripping and running over other rappers THEY BANNED ME!!! I'm playing. But what they can't do is keep us down. I swear on my CD collection, I will be heard. No one will stop this movement.
What I'm doing is bigger than rap. It's for Hip Hop, but it's bigger than that too. I'm trying to start something. Get us out there. Make ripples and piss people off. On my Tupac shit just saying what I feel, so long as it's true. You know I am an 80s baby. (A real 80s baby... Damn liars trying to be us.) So the Crack era was my backdrop. No I didn't sell drugs and I don't do them, but still, my life hasn't been missed by the crippling effects. As far as my background is concerned, I do have a childhood and whatnot. I'm the middle child. Second girl, Third born. (There are 5 of us!!!) Siblings are cool when they want to be, but not always who you want to be around. Not saying I don't love them, just saying that I let them do their thing.
All things considered, I got into rapping and drawing early on. So more or less I grew up through the speakers, ya feel me? I couldn't be the center of attention so I stopped needing that attention. I started writing. That brought me here. Everything I went through as far as growing up in the places I grew up, to the stuff that affects me and actually challenges my strength as a person led to this MC. Whether I'm talking about how much nicer I am than your favorite rapper, or I'm tackling social issues, I do it all, and I do a damn good job at it. IT IS WHAT IT IS!!! I'm giving you as much as I can give you. I give you a self portrait, drawn with words. I can probably draw it out, but you don't get to listen to me draw. Diggy?
I aim to make a statement and make music that I can respect. I'm an artist and my integrity comes before a check. A moment to reflect on anybody forced to choose between plays and getting paid or anybody confused. Take a walk in my shoes and understand my thoughts and views. For some Hip Hop is similar to watching the news. We're reporters of a different kind but this is the bottom line: Instead of reading cue cards, we're speaking our minds. Peace and Love all... Gangsta Cru!!
