IAMGAWD More Suede Listening Party-UAES Event Review

How do we say this politely? IAMGAWD will dismantle any that come his way, via the head banging bars he can manifest and the way he carries himself. This emcee is so rooted within Chicago’s hip-hop history it’s almost rude to not mention what’s taking place in the music scene without speaking on IAMGAWD. This artist is truly in his own league when it comes to switching flows and being able to show that in the music. Don’t believe us? Take a listen to this entire artist’s catalogue. Even then you are just beginning to understand how this emcee is truly incredible and can’t be duplicated..

IAMGAWD has been on a warpath all year with the moves he has been making. His first project of this year “Blood Stain Suede 2” has been making a lot of heads turn for the simple fact that IAMGAWD AND Clypto are a powerful combination. Even podcaster Joe Budden had to give IAMGAWD his props for the style of flows he uses. From uplifting legendary Chicago hip-hop pioneers like GQ Tha Teacha, to addressing rumors that he might be working with the legendary emcee Lupe Fiasco. IAMGAWD is really letting the world know that Chicago never forgot how to rap, and we are so here for it..

What’s even more special about IAMGAWD is his ability to shed light on his creative peers via the music and how he organizes community. Being the creator of the “Chicago Never Forgot How To Rap” term and movement, Gawd never hesitates to give props and love to the emcees he’s around and the pioneers of the hip-hop genre that have inspired him to be the individual he is. While he is truly a kind spirit to talk to and interact with he has this “let’s not pull it” type of mentality at all times. IAMGAWD really owns the position he has in the The New Chicago Wave and this new project he released is proof of that..

His new project “More Suede (BS2.5)” is another example of just how hungry IAMGAWD is as far as getting these rhymes out. His cadence and choice of production is so remarkable because he has found a way to always let his aggressive bars fuse with the witty and powerful records he stay putting out. What we appreciate so much is how IAMGAWD keeps addressing the critics that don’t believe him and his peers are changing the city with the idea of unity and collaboration. Through powerful interludes and even more soul piercing bars IAMGAWD is challenging anyone who thinks they are topping him with the bars to step up and let themselves be known. Because he is one of those emcees you really don’t want problems with..

GAWD put together an amazing listening party at The Renaissance Bronzeville for the fans and supporters to come out and have conversation about the music. With a powerful Q/A from emcee and journalist FaceTime773 the crowd listened as GAWD started explaining his love for the legendary emcee Twista, the reason for the “Chicago Never Forgot How To Rap” movement, and his love for Chicago..

Then GAWD called on individuals that are also apart of the New Chicago Wave to join him on stage as he premiered his music video for the “BSll (Remix”, which was shot by the legend APJ Films..
