El Gant feat. Infinity Gauntlet – Bases Loaded [Video]

If you’re a sub par rap crew, the worst thing you could do is challenge Infinity Gauntlet. The East Coast underground supergroup made up of El Gant, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Bekay, F.T. and Red Eye, all have their own distinct sound, but when they come together, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Sharing the same name as the popular arcade game “Bases Loaded,” El Gant unveils the latest visuals taken from his ‘Beast Academy’ LP, which showcases four minutes of heavy, abrasive rhymes and guitar dominating sounds, courtesy of JOAT (Jack of all Trades). Between shots of the emcees ripping the mic and getting ready to swing for the fences, we get to see them giving their expert opinions on a hilarious panel. ‘Beast Academy’ is available through all major digital retailers, and is available on CD via Fat Beats, UGHH and Best Buy.

El Gant feat. Chris Webby & Ill Bill – 3 Amigos [Stream]

With three different flows: El Gant’s breakneck style, Chris Webby’s rap attack and Ill Bill’s legendary heavyweight bars, “Three Amigos” offers the perfect blend legends and new school talent on one dope track. Whether you’re a new head unfamiliar with Bill’s classic catalog, or a Boom bap aficionado unfamiliar to Webby, Gant skillfully brings both artists together in a way that you’ll inevitably become a fan of both. Over this guitar heavy instrumental, JOAT (Jack of all Trade) provides a beat that begs to be rapped over; thankfully, the three emcees do it justice. “Three Amigos” is the lead leak off El Gant’s Beast Academy LP, which is set to drop next Tuesday, June 10th. For those who haven’t been paying attention to El Gant, stop sleeping.

El Gant feat. Torae – Truth Hurts [Stream]

Hip-Hop has always been synonymous with getting money. From the early days of Eric B & Rakim, to the likes of ScHoolboy Q, most artists have treated their music like a business by making meaningful tracks that they’re proud of, and getting compensated in the process. But while there’s nothing wrong with making bank, you shouldn’t have to compromise your sound to please others. For the rappers who are aiming for that low hanging fruit, “Truth Hurts” is the joint that will give their heads a shake, calling out those clones who are only in it for the glory. With El Gant’s keenly focused delivery that could melt mics and Torae’s equally impressive verse over JOAT’s (Jack of all Trades) rugged production, it’s one tune that’ll be bumped on the regular this summer. “Truth Hurts” is the latest leak taken from El Gant’s forthcoming LP, Beast Academy, which is produced entirely by JOAT, and set to drop on June 10th. ‘Beast Academy’ is now available for pre-order via iTunes.. wack rappers, watch out.
