I got the honor to coach him in some vocal lessons but his swag speaks for itself.

He is a 20 year old Hip-House artist of Nigerian decent who recently released his debut mixtape,”Don’t Smoke The Cigarette, (which can be downloaded HERE for free).  The video for The GTW’s first single,”Blow Me Away”, features vocals from South African soul singer Danny Brusco and production from producer Zip Justin Warren.  Check out why Urb Magazine has called The GTW one of the Next 1000.

So I never thought I’d be singing, like ever, but I’m in a musical! I’ll be in CHICAGOLAND by Ike Holter and Kelly Kerwin at the Chopin Theater April 22-24, at 10:30 pm. Its an insane crazy journey through Chicago and its many inhabitants. Hope you come see me in my Weiner Cicle gear spitting hot rhymes. Its late so you have NO EXCUSE! Yo, can you spot me in this pic? Am I that brown?
