SAY HI 2 THA NICE GUY!!!!!

About Me

GAKKfaise is an artist who combines old school flow with a futuristic view of Hip Hop music. With over 20 years of experience on the mic, GAKK has seen where Hip Hop came from, understands where it is now, and offers a unique vision of where it should go. After losing 2 major lable deals in 1995, due to conflicts with the group he was in, GAKKfaise developed himself as a solo artist and gained valuable life experience, which can be heard in all of his lyrics. He has spit for the likes of: PMD, The DOC, Daddy-O, Phife Dawg, Morris Day, Hank Shocklee, and many more. KRS-ONE told him that one day the two of them would argue backstage over which of them would get top billing at a show based on a brief conversation they had. GAKK is a versatile talent who doesn't limit himself to one style of rhyme flow or track. He is a vivid story teller who can make you see every bar, a raw battle lyricist and freestyle specialist, and has a knack for coming up with catchy hooks and unique song concepts. With a handful of loose affiliations with respected MC's in the Atlanta Underground Hip Hop Community, GAKKfaise is poised to take the Hip Hop world by storm. Musically he represents an unrecognized group of Hip Hop fans in today's mainstream market: the everyday working man who loves the music and his family and works hard to take care of both the right way.

Does Hip Hop have enough BALANCE?

I'm an old school cat and I ain't ashamed of it. Though I love some of the music thats comin' out now, I can't help but notice that it's all soundin' the same. I remember that Hip Hop used to represe...
