Gleams BIO
To gleam means to shine brightly, Especially with reflected light. There are
many lyricists throughout the hip hop industry that do this, however there
is a young word smith on the come up destined to outshine them all. His Name
is Gleams, he has been compared with the likes of Lupe Fiasco for his well
thought out concepts and punch lines; The 21 year old manages to capture
emotion in his music while still setting tracks ablaze, The sparks from ever
hard hitting verses make young Josh live up to his MC'ing alias. The new
street masterpiece entitled The Citizenship takes the culture in a new
direction while maintaining a classic feel. It contains a sound that can be
loved by all, yet gritty but witty to the point he reminds you of Kanye
west. His tunes also contain those head nodders and club bangers with no
compromise to the artistry, while sustaining in depth story telling skills
similar to Joe Budden. Catch a glimpse of Gleams at upcoming shows in the
New York area.
Making Music and being a evolving artist is what's important not financial
gain, this attitude and work ethic makes Gleams a fit for any label Major or
indie. These were some of the attributes that impressed RU 1 Records A&R Jus
at a local demo listening session. On any given day you can find this
youngster under a mountain of scrap papers, He never stops coming up with
new songs and great material. If this young man is a sign of what is to be
in hip hop, young artist being true to there craft, and not manufacturing
wack records for ring tone sake. Then Hip hop's future not only looks bright
it Gleams!!!!
