Gage is a local DMV Hip Hop Artist who's debut album "Heir To The Throne" is being released November 20th 2009!

Listening to "The Greats" such as Jay-Z, Biggie, Tupac, Run DMC, LL Cool J, and others had a significant impact on Gage when he was younger. They inspired him not only to pursue hip hop but it dictated the way he dealt with his day to day struggles. He would tune in to every storyline, every controversial hook, every play on words, and it would fuel his fire.

Lyrics were the heart and soul of Gage's passion for hip hop! He's always said, "A good beat can make a song but lyrics can take it so much further". Always going through his art with a fine tooth comb and making sure every flow, every lyric, every line had meaning and significance.

He was always financially staying afloat but Gage continued to pursue his art. He managed to catch the attention of all his friends and create a buzz on Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace! He created online catch phrases like "FTW" (For The Win) and "STW" (Secure The Win) and "Eating Starz"!!! Relentlessly promoting with a hustle mentality that never took "No" for an answer. He received recognition from HHH Magazine, 93.9 WKYS, and was also asked to collaborate with local DMV Rock Bands adding to his overall appeal. Show after show he put on electrifying performances around local venues such as, Jammin Java, Jaxx, The Red & The Black, The Coat of Arms, The End Zone and more!!!

He continued to follow his mentors but also became fans of up-incoming artists such as Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Wale, Drake, and others! With DC still being last in line for music entertainment, Gage took it upon himself to better the local DMV music scene. The DC Hip Hop wave is slowly rising with local artists such as Wale, XO, Kingpen Slim, Phil Ade, and more and Gage is right alongside them.

Look for Gage's "Heir To The Throne" on iTunes and find him on facebook, twitter, or myspace! 2010 is coming and as Gage would say, "2010 is going to be FTW!"
