Gee Dubs is a street savvy artist in his early twenties. Born and raised in Queens, New York he represents a genre in Hip Hop that is nearly on the verge of extinction. While most artists of today will conform to industry standards, Dubs refuses to compromise and continues to deliver his talent in its purest form. Gee Dubs and Mike Chops have decided to collaborate on a 12 track project titled Preface to Disaster. The project is intended to set the stage for Dubs and showcase the unique individuality that Gifted Hoods has to offer to the game. “It all just fell into place” Chops says “we were working toward a different project for some time. We recorded probably three or four dozen tracks, all that work ended up manifesting into these ideas that brought us to the ‘Preface’ project.” While the cover art may inspire imaginations to run wild, Preface to Disaster isn’t exactly a concept project. “There’s definitely material on there that touches on certain topics, especially with all the hype of 2012 creeping” Dubs explains “But the title is more of a metaphor for the introduction of Gifted Hoods to the music industry and the public. It’s symbolic of the idiom ‘the quiet before the storm’, you don’t know us right now but once this project drops you’re gonna feel that shift in energy. We’re going to get peoples’ attention. Without limiting himself, Gee has always showed interest in all genres of music but understands that his passion led him to Hip Hop. Realizing that in order to succeed in the music industry it is necessary to not only focus on the artistic side, but understand the politics of the business. All of his knowledge and experience, combined with willingness to never sacrifice his integrity, has created a sound that Hip Hop supporters instantly can relate to. Gee Dubs’ relentless pursuit to be successful within the Hip Hop industry has led him to where he is now.
