Gem-N-Eye is a rapper from the St. Louis metro east area. He released his debut album "13 shots and still going" in August of 2002. He followed that with a remix album "13 shots reloaded" in March of 2003. He just released his sophomore album "Welcome To My World" February 24, 2004. Gem-N-Eye's unique style and realness has earned him fans and critics nationwide. He refuses to front and be something he is not. He will not "embellish" his past or try to sound like something he is not. His skill and respect for the hip-hop industry has earned him respect among peers. His realness has earned him fans and critics, and his drive has brought him this far. Gem-N-Eye's old school style with new school beats has given him a sound unique to him. One fan wrote mix Beastie boys, Eminem, Easy E, and Kid Rock together......you got Gem-N-Eye
I took several months off to complete the "Welcome To My World" project. I will start scheduling shows in the near future.
My musical influences vary. I grew up on everything form heavy metal to old school rap. That is why the music on my songs are so diverse. I respect talent and will listen to anything from country, pop, to rock if the group doesn't suck
I would like to thank all my fans for their love and support. I appreciate you all. Be sure to buy a copy of "Welcome To My World." Get the first edition. When they go back to the printer I will make changes to the disk and art work. The first edition will be worth more when I blow. Til then holla -Gem-N-Eye
