Gabe 'Nandez
By Paul Jimenez on April 21, 2014
Born in New York but now staying in Montreal is Gabe ‘Nandez, a rapper who constantly implements gratifying locutions within his lyrics. Although he hasn’t released as much music as his followers would like, every piece he has dropped has been nothing but remarkable. His flow and cloudy voice fit these authentic boom bap beats so naturally, it almost seems as if he was on the production himself. He’s recently worked with artists like No Kliché, Yung Gutted and Chester Watson, shaping out an icy collaboration each time. This imaginative artist hasn’t announced very much, but expect Gabe 'Nandez to soon add another wondrous work of art to his resume.
