2011: the year of new beginnings? Up and coming Hip-Hop artist storms US charts with his revolutionary rapping style.
As many up and coming artists will tell you, it is extremely hard to get recognised on a domestic scale let alone internationally. The hip-hop genre has seen rappers like 'lil wayne' and 'eminem' rise to fortune and fame in recent times however, our very own UK artists has joined the ranks of these A listed superstars. After he hit the UK charts in 2010, D-Gun 18, has rapidly gained the status of 'The Saviour' as his unique rapping ability has brought back the 'hip' into hip-hop. His chart topping number one single, entitled 'Blow Up' has earned him praise from hip-hop legend Dr.dre who claims "the game had lost its lyricism" and that "hip-hop is now safe in the hands of D-Gun". Not only that, the hit has earned him a nomination for the best up and coming rapper of 2010. His undisputed lyrical skill was recognised by jay-z and resulted in him being signed to his record label 'Rock Nation'. There is much speculation on whether D-Gun will be releasing a debut album sometime early this year. Here we caught up with the up and coming talent as he spoke exclusively to BASe magazine about: The development of his lyrical skill, the status of 'The Saviour', the prospect of an outstanding 2011 and the eagerly awaited debut album.
