Brooklyn, New York-based emcee El Gant drops his new track/visual ART PIECE, featuring Carson, California-based legend Ras Kass

As Hip Hop progresses through time, many boom-bap veterans either recycle the same formula in hopes of achieving the success of their heroes or change their music completely to keep up with current trends. Others continue to evolve both personally and musically, whilst continuing to pay homage to those from the era that inspired them.

El Gant has continued to the latter…

With several songs under his belt, produced by DJ Premier and having appeared as a featured artist on seminal albums by The Beatnuts and Ras Kass, El Gant is no stranger to notoriety, with a career that kicked off in the early 2000s and has been consistent right through to the present day. This is evident through his endless touring, output of releases, and worldwide radio coverage.

‘Gantatello’ is his fourth LP, this time teaming up with Portuguese producer Martello Sousa, together forging a unique, exclusive style of production. In this project, Gant reflects on what it means to emerge from decades in the game, enduring both the highs and lows of life as an artist and as a person navigating a turbulent world. He explores themes of loss, resilience, and personal growth, honouring those he has lost along the way. Rather than giving up, this project stands as a testament to perseverance, learning from failure, and arriving on the other side with a deeper, more informed perspective.

El Gant also pulled in assistance from some of his peers for the project, including the aforementioned Ras Kass, plus Copywrite, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Napoleon Da Legend, and others. Instead of overly suffocating the project with features, he allowed his fellow artists to complement the journey, whilst taking the lead on all fifteen tracks with his commanding delivery and signature rapid-fire cadences.

The album will be released via his imprint ‘Rule By Secrecy’, set to drop on 14th October 2025. This will coincide with a European tour and a limited edition vinyl.

‘Artpiece‘, the electrifying first single from El Gant’s new studio album ‘Gantatello’ features the legendary Ras Kass, set against a backdrop of dark, hard-hitting production by Martello.

On this commanding lead-off track, Gant and Razzy lay it all out, staking their claim, sharing their roots, and proving their dedication to the craft with raw energy and lyrical precision.
