SoundClick artist: G-Stylez - Underground Hip Hop all the way. Putting positive messages through the music. Forget about the fame

Underground MC from the San Luis Valley tryin to push the name out there. A member of 8000 Feet, Konfuzin Stylez, and Underestim8ed. Representing underground lyrical hip hop in a place where hip hop doesnt get as much shine as it should. Its all about the music and life, forget about the fame.

Why this name?

Its a name I've had since childhood. A nickname given to me by older cats in the game.

Do you play live?

We do live stuff, mostly in Colorado. Personally I love performing live and every performance was a special moment to me.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It changes the music industry by giving us musicians a wider range of listeners. Listeners all around the world who dig different sounds.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I would if the label gave me the oppurtunity to do albums the way I wanted to. Unless your rhymesayers entertainment, then just show me where to sign!!
