BIO:
G'd Up, which hails from Harlingen, is quickly becoming a strong force in the underground rap scene.
With constant underground hits, it is no wonder major artists are quickly recognizing the talent and hustle of G'd Up. A desire to create music to its highest perfection allowable is moving G'd Up further and further away from its competition. With only 2 CD's out by the group, the rapid growth rate of G'd Up is evident.
Ace Rip, who has an undefinable flow that can adjust to any environment that is presented to him, is "wiping them boys down" with the ability to create songs that can compete in the major music markets. From Rap to R&B and even rock, Ace Rip's mind is a melting pot of musical ideas.
Prime, with his country swagger, is probably the group's most popular artist. His personality on the mic and in person is creating a star among the fans. Having some of the most street orientated lyrics of the group has not affected his ability to entice and capture listeners with his raps. Kazer, who has coined the title "quickest tongue south of the 210," is almost becoming the quickest toungue in the entire south.
With a fast paced lyrical assault, Kazer is creating a "cult" around his name. Having created a buzz in Texas, he his out to compete with the "fastest" rapper alive. With a true lyrical mind, he is separating himself from those "people" that just rap fast.
EL-Dee, producer and engineer of the group, simply does what needs to be done. From Beats to Photos, his artistic vision shines on a daily basis.
