Gift implies a comparatively minor but special ability making for ease and dexterity in performance a knack. The current state of the music world is anything but pretty with major record labels attributing poor sales to piracy and illegal downloads and recording artists selling out for jewelry and cars. Also, with the focus on turning records out faster and faster to market, it ultimately results in the sacrifice of quality. "Gift" MC, writer, producer is well aware of the pitfalls of the music biz and has no plans of becoming one of its casualties. His God given talents are a refreshing treat to an industry where ignorant gangsta rappers go in and out of jail quicker than Pookie's lips to a crack pipe. Gift, has modestly walked the streets of Chilltown and peeped the game from a distance, watching and waiting for an opportunity to display the skills that embody a true MC. A native of Jersey City, NJ, Gift is anything but your average JOE. He has appeared at many talent showcases around the Tri-state, preparing himself for his inevitable surge through the hip-hop charts.
As well as being a gifted MC, Gift has also self-produced many of his own tracks, which demonstrates his thirst for understanding all aspects of the recording and creative process. On tracks like "It's Time to Make It", he successfully delivers a fluid rhyme over a gritty drum track, reminiscent of mid 90's RZA. One word describes this kid, flava. Although he may not single handedly save a music industry saturated with recycled beats, mindless rants filled with profanity laced tirades only the ODB could appreciate, Born Gifted is prepared to make huge dent. With smooth lyrical flows that are devoid of the amateuristic banter displayed by the majority of today's rap stars, he has developed a unique blend of street sophistication. He effortlessly hits the hardcore hip-hop enthusiasts with supreme lyrical flow over fly beats, while simultaneously lacing the ladies with spicy club joints that are sure to trigger an avalanche to the dancefloor.
Gift looks forward to securing his place in the music industry as a multi-faceted artist with the ability to rap, write and produce. He states, "My calmness of mind enables me to analyze objectively, think clearly and act within reason. My goal is to maintain a successful career, and help uplift the community providing opportunities and opening doors where I can". Gift has grasped the ability to create skillfully crafted lyrics, accompanied by soulful rhythm with impeccable delivery. He's a spirited individual with extraordinary talent and a strong sense of self. To sum it up, He is truly a "Gift". Gifted Intelligent - Flava Throughout
