Welcome to the truth and that is G&A.
Straight out of Clarksville,TN.This is their second album OPERATION BLACKSTEEL.Their first album was an underground hit titled Real Life Situations.There music is hardcore rap but you can feel the gospel influence in the songs,which makes it different from what's out there now.
Why this name?
The name was derived from a freestyle song when we were working on our first album.G is for Grifection and A is for Big A.
Do you play live?
We play different venues every year.All over the Clarksville,TN area.We enjoy the different opportunities to showcase our music to an audience that may not have had the opportunity to hear it anywhere else.We have opened up for a few heavyweights of the rap industry.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has a good point and a bad point.It makes the music more accesible for artist who doesn't have a powerhouse distribution and marketing engine.But for well established artists it makes it to easy to get there music and they lose royalties.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes.I need for the whole world to hear my music,and not just locally .
Band History:
G&A was actually a side project to pass the time for a group called S.C.U.M. But once the streets got a hold of it they never let it go.The actual Group G&A was formed around 2002.
Your influences?
Stevie Wonder is the greatest influence to me,which is weird because of the type of music i do.I just think that for what he did with music and messaage it is a direct parrallel to what my music is.I am into all kinds of music though. I love hip hop,rock and roll,r&b,and even classical.A lot of people would not believe that we are into bands like Led Zepplin,The Beatles,Janis Joplin,Nirvana,Guns&Roses,Metallica,Van Morrison and others,but once the music hits you it doesn't matter what type of music it is.Other influences are Nas,Outkast,Wu-tang clan ,Ice Cube,Geto Boyz,Luther Vandross,Mary J.Blige,Anita Baker,Michael Jackson,Marvin Gaye,EWF(Earth,Wind and Fire),Faith no more,Barry White,2pac,Notorious B.I.G.,Jay-Z,Sade and many more.Though hip hop and r&b are our favorite I enjoy most music.
Favorite spot?
Clarksville,TN.It's home(need I say more)
Equipment used:
I do most of my music on the Roland Fantom.
