Gilroy Matty, better known as G DA GREAT is an upcoming rap legend, born and raised in St. Lucia, a small but beautiful island of the West Indies. He moved to New York City at the age of fifteen, unsure what path he would pursue in life. Even at that age, music was the only thing he seemed to be passionate about. Growing up and listening to various genres of music such as reggae, calypso, soca & rap/hip hop music, there was no doubt in his mind that he was destined to make music professionally. G finally realized his dream of becoming a famous MC after spending countless hours in the studio with high school friend Thomas “Mellow” Ryan. His eyes were soon opened to the power of spoken word, and his love for hip hop music eventually became a reality. He recorded five original songs in 2007, but it wasn’t until late 2009 that he met Rijkaard “DK” Cazaubon (studio engineer/ promoter/entertainer ) and truly became serious about his craft. Since then G has been building his confidence and stage presence, and has been feeding people powerful music. These acquired qualities, in addition to his clever use of word play and slick delivery, have allowed G DA GREAT to elevate above the competition, providing his fans with conscious hip hop music with a message. Currently G DA GREAT is making his mark on the New York scene, winning several live music competitions, performing at venues all across the city, and working to complete his first studio album.
