The independent hip-hop
label known as G.L.O.A.T. Ent. has released its latest album, “Item
9.” The record comes hot on the heels of G.L.O.A.T. Ent.'s recent
LP album, “War of Words: Extended Clip,” which dropped in July
2018 and continues to pick up critical steam. Varied, textured, and
bringing the same creativity and aggressive urban poetry heard by
fans new and old in that release, “Item 9” stands as further
evidence that hip-hop listeners have every reason to take note of
this heavy-hitting duo from the American south.
G.L.O.A.T. Ent. have cited
as main artistic influences a broad variety of sounds and styles,
including such names as Tupac Shakur, Led Zeppelin, Kanye West, Tom
Petty, Green Day, Eminem, and Tech N9NE. Their own sound on “Item
9” continues to deliver what founders Michael Heathen and G.
Champion do best, top-notch urban poetry set to brightly polished
production, beats and samples.
Asked to describe the
overall theme of “Item 9,” G.L.O.A.T. Ent. writes back simply,
“End Marijuana Prohibition, NOW!” 'Item 9' may refer to a slang
term for marijuana featured in the 2008 comedy, “Pineapple
Express.”
Growing up loving the
sounds of classic rock's most influential bands like Led Zeppelin,
Pink Floyd and The Doors, Michael Heathen later came to be inspired
by hip-hop titans such as Rage Against the Machine, Tupac, and Tech
N9ne. seemed to usher in a new dimension to Heathen's musical mind
frame. Michael Heathen has previously released several mixtapes and
two full-length albums. His music can be heard on Pandora, YouTube,
Spotify, and more.
G. Champion is a rapper
and songwriter with mounting fame in the Dallas Metroplex. He credits
his current popularity to his dedication to music writing, studio
time and giving back the same support he is shown. His current
official bio describes his music as “diverse with depth into
real-life situations that many people can relate to. His music is
inspired by Kanye West, Tupac, Andre 3000, Nas and Eminem.”
Asked to comment on the
start of their collaboration, G.L.O.A.T. Ent. write, “Started with
falling in love with the frequency of what we heard. We wanted to
create more things to love!”
“Item 9” from
G.L.O.A.T. Ent. is available from over 600 quality digital music
