A great example of hardwork paying off Grea8gawd’s work ethic speaks volumes. Raised in the Midwest he’d go on to move to NYC in his teens, and then Syracuse. He’d gain experience and understanding about networking and making connections. Matching his grind with his skills is a recipe for success.
He’s been building a name for himself and has worked with top Mcs like Roc Marciano, Jadakiss, Benny the Butcher and more. This lead to his debut album “Snow Day” released last December. The album shows wordplay, reality rap, and storytelling. The production makes it clear he wants to be heard and not drowned out by heavy Drums.
