Euro P. Gold, rising hip-hop artist and Hampton University student, is forcing his way into the music industry with his smooth, but gritty flow, reminiscent of old school cats. This Philly native broke into the hearts of many hip-hop fans back in August with his first mixtape Day After Rehab: The Death Of Willie Minus.
The omnipresent theme of smoking marijuana throughout that ‘tape, alongside flows about the reality of his life at this point, makes listeners tune in attentively. Similar to artists, such as Kid Cudi and Lupe Fiasco, Gold is authentic. There are no songs about the flashiness or gaudiness of the average, overrated rapper. He simply talks about all that encompasses the everyday life of an African-American college student: classes, women, sports, sex and drugs.
Based out of College Park, Maryland, the band, Sugar Junkie has a lot of energy, and we captured some of it. We recently got a chance to ask them a few questions and snap a few pics of them in their natural habitat, so sit back and get to know Jamel, Anthony, and Shov. Oh yea, grab some candy while you’re at it.
This week I was in sunny LA. While there, I had a chance to check out a few dope places and events. One of these events happened to be the Dom Kennedy listening party.
Up until this point, I hadn’t heard about Dom, but you learn something new everyday. In case you were like myself, Dom Kennedy is a rapper from Los Angeles, California – Leimert Park to be exact.
