GIFT OF GAB
Gift of Gab is often praised by critics for his rapping skills – Allmusic says he is “one of the very finest MCs to ever pick up a microphone,” and “one of the best underground rappers in the business,” and “his raps are jam-packed with internal rhymes, allusions, metaphors, ten-cent words, and amazing tongue-twisting feats of skill” and he has been able to “redefine the art of lyrical technique.” Peter Shapiro describes him as “a walking encyclopedia of MCing styles” and Pitchfork Media refers to his “astonishing verbal dexterity and enunciation.” Popmatters says he has a “nearly impenetrable reputation for style and innovation” and Stylus Magazine calls him “one of the top MCs in the game.”
 

LANDON WORDSWELL

The release of his first album, The Mourning After Pill (The MAP), gained him international notoriety by landing on a list of the top 20 most downloaded albums of March 2013 on bandcamp alongside such caliber as Ghostface Killah and many other well known artists.
