01The Story of Gumz da Rapper
Gumz da Rapper is an artist whose musical journey began with a love for poetry, words, rhythm, and storytelling. Born December 9, 1975, Gumz developed a natural appreciation for the power of language and eventually found a musical home in hip hop.
His passion for rap was fueled by legendary lyricists such as Eric B. & Rakim and Big Daddy Kane, artists whose technical abilities, wordplay, cadence, and commanding delivery demonstrated how powerful an MC could be with nothing more than a microphone and a vocabulary. As his musical identity developed, Gumz was also deeply influenced by the life, emotion, storytelling, and social consciousness of Tupac Shakur.
Rather than simply following the sound of traditional hip hop, Gumz developed his own musical philosophy—infusing hip hop with soulful, heartfelt, lyrical, and poetic expression, while incorporating touches of techno and rock.
