Album Notes

Raised in the Marquette Park neighborhood of Chicago's southside, young Michael Flores (G-nut) was talented in such things as sports, art and writing. It wasn't until his teenage years were his life took a turn. Growing up on Chicago's rough streets, G-nut was surrounded by gangs, drugs and violence. This was when he began to develop his passion for hip hop music as it was a soundtrack to life in the hood. After graduating high school he began to get involved in music while attending Columbia college, learning to dj, produce and then began to write his own music. He put out his first demo tape in 1998 and from that point on he never turned back. Music became his life. A former honor student and gifted artist and writer, G-nut took that with his knowledge of growing up in the streets to form a style of his own. A blend of conscious hip hop and hardcore hood rap with a twist of comedy. He is a lyricist with multiple styles of flow. Punch lines, story telling, metephors, vocabulary, knowledge and hood anthems. His music speaks for itself. Just listen and you will see!!
