Urban Vault caught up with Queens, New York-based emcee Scott G a.k.a Scott Gesus, to ask him some questions about his latest release, LOOK AT GOD and more…

Queens, New York is known for its breed of emcees who possess the highest level of skill when telling their stories over beats. Enter Scott G a.k.a. Scott Gesus a member of Sean Strange’s Nah Bro Entertainment record label roster. In early 2018 he was working on his debut album ‘I Am Gesus’ when randomly some months back he was shot 3 times and almost killed. One bullet hit his face, Another in his neck and one in his arm.

After a week hospital stay, surgery, and two bullets still in his body, he came home and immediately went in the studio to record a full project in one day. If you ask Scott why he decided to put the ‘I Am Gesus’ album on hold to do this ‘Look At God’ project he will tell you,

“It was all fueled by the experience of surviving a near death experience in addition to a statement from the nurse who cared for him in the hospital telling him that God saved his life, Not luck”.

The end result is this project titled ‘Look At God’ which was released on May 25th, 2018.

In April, Scott and Nah Bro Entertainment signed a distribution deal for this project with Underground record label Goon MuSick which is run by the Snowgoons. Together they are presenting this project to the world which features appearances by Conway & Benny The Butcher from Griselda Records, Sean Strange, iNTeLL and is entirely produced by Sean Strange & IAMT2.

This album is a true definition of ‘Reality Rap’ in an era filled with ‘Make Believe Rap’.

Some may hear or see the title and think this is a Gospel or Christian Rap record but quickly will find out this is an uncensored piece of pure Hip Hop art created by an artist in his darkest times that will bring you into his life in ways that not many can or have done before.
