Gilligan Gatsby

It is a rare, yet epic occasion when a hip-hop artist captures and affects the people of his generation, makes an impact on his society and brings unity with Christ and Hip-hop. Gilligan is among the few artists who, without question, can be placed in this category. Born July 30, 1982, this twenty-Six year old artist is using rap to reach beyond the societal perception of what a gospel emcee should do to deliver his message. Using the struggles of everyday life to create a sound that all can listen to, Gilligan’s ability to grab the attention of the listeners is made evident through his energy, aggressive vocal tone and witty punch lines. His focus is on making good music, speaking the Truth, and leading people to the Light. At times crushed by the tragic events that take place across the world, Gilligan is motivated to stand as a leader in the hip-hop community. Once a battle emcee around the schoolyards and hip-hop corner spots, he now takes that same competitive attitude into the studio to release his life experiences and life in God in a unique form. Gilligan’s goal is to take this new sound all over the world. Hip-hop has been a major part of his life. He has been an aspiring artist for the last nine years and knows that he is ready to take this movement to the next level. Once an intricate part of a group, he has already released three full-length albums and one mix tape. Now on his own, Gilligan is in the studio laying down tracks for the upcoming “Gatsby Project.” Every track is sure to be a favorite. He knows the dedication and drive it takes to make history. As a solo artist his hunger for music has grown and all he wants to do is “get the music to the people.” By some, he’s referred to as the next big artist; it’s only a matter of time. Gilligan knows that the stand he takes in hip-hop, the one that glorifies speaking on God may seem odd, but this artist is determined to keep it thorough in every aspect. Hip-hop heads and music lovers everywhere, get ready for Gilligan Gatsby.
