NOT THEM
NOT THEM
We make music that you think about, but never heard on the radio...yet
Made for the intellectual. Constituted for the college partying, every day, ramen eating, lovesick, beer drinking, human being.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The wordsmiths Gentleman J and The Dirt Merchant met in film school at Full Sail University. After a couple drunken freestyles at parties the dynamic duo decided to attempt writing songs, which never happened.
It wasn’t until chance put them in the same house, aptly dubbed “The Stronghold”, where the Hip Hop magic began.
If every aspect of hip hop were in a digital picture then Not Them! uses every single pixel in the frame. They are an uber imaginative, poetically inclined, trail mix of soliloquies that are just as fun to hang out with, as they are to listen to.
After all, they are just trying to make friends. with the world in mind.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Florida Music Festival, The Social, Backbooth, 57 West, Austin's Coffee & Film (Orlando, FL)
