New York’s El Gant returns with “Raw”, off his forthcoming Spray Music EP. The record finds El Gant delivering one of his most rapid fire, technically sharpened darts of his career. Chi-town’s 42 Keez laid the groundwork here for Gant to brutalize, providing a rather “in” sound – suitable for the 2015 ears. Don’t let that fool you though. Gant is in the lab with Ras Kass, Shabaam Sahdeeq, El Da Sensei and other veteran emcees/new school staples – alongside his IV League camp. He keeps the hip-hop heads fed. Enjoy the track and keep your eyes peeled for the official release date of the upcoming EP. Peace and love.

El Gant brings his ferocious delivery to the first single off his upcoming Beast Academy album. Produced by Jack of All Trades, the record is scratch-heavy and energetic, reminiscent of an old Jedi Mind Tricks song, which is not surprising given the fact that JOAT has produced for the likes of Vinny Paz and others. Listen to the hard-hitting cut below and look out for Beast Academy on June 10.
