By the time you’re done reading this, Virginia rapper-producer GAWD will probably have another song out
Keeping up with GAWD’s musical output is a full-time gig. Over the past decade, he’s logged more than 1,500 SoundCloud uploads—mostly self-produced rap tracks, along with beats for sale and DJ mixes—across nearly 50 different aliases including TRICK RACER, MR I GOT GASS N I CNT PASS, and, simply, YEAH. There’s probably even more material I’m missing. There have been GAWD songs that I heard once and was never able to find again, leaving me to wonder if they were hallucinations. Searching for something specific in his scattered catalog can feel as pointless as trying to find a woman in the crowd of a Conway the Machine show.
The songs themselves don’t do that much to alleviate that feeling of being lost on the dark side of Mars. Across countless blurry concept albums (including ones about spiritual awakenings and political conspiracies) and freewheeling mixtapes, he offers a disorienting marathon of pitch-altered, inner-monologue-style rapping, blown-out and synth-heavy psychedelic beats, and a barrage of DJ tags. The enigmatic 24-year-old’s music comes off as random and improvised but, in the grand tradition of mind-meltingly prolific rappers like Lil B, there is intentionality to the chaos.
Speaking from his home in Richmond, Virginia, GAWD talks about hip-hop with the passion and curiosity of a daily rap forum poster. “50 Cent was the first rapper I perceived,” he says. “Bruh was deadass a New York rapper with West Coast G-funk melodies.” (One of his most-used aliases is 65 Cent.) He goes on to explain the curatorial importance of once-mighty mixtape DJs like Evil Empire and DJ Drama, whose skills have become less appreciated in the streaming era. “DJs are the ones who could represent an entire region or style,” he stresses, before citing DJ Victoriouz and DJ Moondawg’s unforgettable work with Chief Keef. “I know how I felt when Back From the Dead dropped.”
GAWD hasn’t had a proper breakout moment quite yet, but there was 2019’s “EVERYWHEREIGO,” which he produced for Richmond native BabyxSosa and now has over 4 million plays on YouTube. You can usually count on him to put out a complete project every few weeks, so when four whole months passed between June’s 30-song spiritual odyssey 65 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT and this week’s 10/17 (which, of course, literally appeared out of thin air as I was writing this) the break felt as long as the one Dr. Dre took between 2001 and Compton.
