Rapper Lord G is a soldier. He fought in the Militia, led the Universal Brigade, and survived the war at Death Row.
The Detroit-born MC has much clout in the rap game, having fronted hit-makers Militia and a slew of other groups, having been under the tutelage of rap maestro Dr. Dre, and having appeared on albums that have sold nearly three million copies collectively. An expert lyricist, beat maker and freestyle king, Lord G has won many rap battles, but he's about to win the war.
After moving to Los Angeles, Lord G found himself at Suge Knight's legendary Death Row label, where under the guidance of Dr. Dre he crafted beats, ghost-wrote lyrics and appeared on the classic Above The Rim soundtrack with the hot bonus cut;My Money Right. With his deep, gravely cadence, lyrics filled with one-two punch lines, and a vocal style that falls somewhere between Busta Rhymes and Method Man over a West Coast flow and Motor City attitude, G was one of the soon-to-be rising stars at the label. He was slated to record his debut album for tha Row, but exited just before the gun-play and drama set in.
Never one to lay low, G issued a slew of independent singles and the out-of-the-trunk album Phobia by his posse Faces of Fear (F.O.F.), which created a buzz and brought him to the attention of burgeoning label Red Ant (Salt 'N' Pepa, Wu Tang Clans Sunz of Man, Whoridas), who quickly signed him to a deal. While at Red Ant, G met the other rap newcomers to the label, duos Diz and Deviuz, and Ms. Toi and Mr. Tan. The five rappers got along so well they decided to form a super-group, and Militia was born. Militia's self-titled debut album spawned the smash single Burn, three big-budget videos and sold over 300,000 copies. However, when the label went bankrupt the group went M.I.A.
Lord G quickly hit the studio to capitalize on the heat from Burn and churned out the indie album Hot Ta Def on Da Mic Chord, which was executive produced by Dr. Dre's Chris The Glove Taylor. Always on the hunt for new artists to groom and collaborate with, he laced the streets with a mixtape (U.B. In Ya Area) by his group Universal Brigade and a single under the name Strange Museum. Last year, he even reunited with Militia Mr. Tan, Ms. Toi and Diz for a reunion album titled Comin At Cha.
In 2006, Lord G has been working on his new solo joint with Cali hip hop production team Messiaz. He has performed shows with Kool Keith, Tash of Tha Liks, Insane Poetry and many more. He recently recorded tracks for Supersuckers frontman Eddie Spaghetti upcoming remix album New No. 2 and supplied the voice of Robotron in MTV Europe's TV show Videogame Theater. You can catch his new video for "Work Dat Thang" or catch him on tour.
