New Jersey’s GDP began stirring up a mix tape buzz in 2006 before his acclaimed 2007 debut “Involvement” on Division East Records. GDP recorded two songs in 2008 for a split 7” and US tour with Florida rockers Spanish Gamble (Paper and Plastick Records). The music video for “Succumb” off of the split earned GDP worldwide notoriety.
Citing influences everywhere from Slick Rick to Ian MacKaye, GDP has performed alongside some of the biggest names in hip hop including Wu Tang Clan, Rah Digga, Large Professor, C-Rayz Walz and Grandmaster Caz. Meanwhile, he’s also established himself in hardcore, punk, indie and electro music circuits, performing nationwide on bills with Skeletonwitch, Captain Ahab, Trap Them, Dead to Me, Japanther, OCDJ and more.
GDP released the full-length album “Realistic Expectations” in June 2009 on Division East/Say-10 Records. The 14-song masterpiece showcases GDP’s cynical yet sincere demeanor and meticulously crafted, raw lyricism in all its glory. “Realistic Expectations” comes packaged as a double disc along with a 30-minute DVD titled “Expect Real”, a collection of behind the scenes footage, live performances and plenty of extra features.
Since “Realistic Expectations” release, GDP has not left the road. His relentless touring schedule is crucial to his quest to merge like-minded, independent communities. GDP plans to travel to the land down under this February to further spread his word. 2010 will see GDP teaming up for a mix tape with Young Zee of Outsidaz fame, a debut album from his super group Radio Activity, a new GDP solo album and of course, more touring.
