Guest Speaker Ep. 109: Gio Dee

On Episode 109 of the Guest Speaker Series, we welcome the one and only Gio Dee! Gio is one of the premier names in hip-hop coming out of Massachusetts right now, fresh off of his latest album called ‘Hardbody’, which is the first installment of a trilogy of albums, with the next two coming soon. Gio also just signed a deal with Roc Nation; you won’t believe the story of serendipity surrounding the circumstances of how that deal came to be. He also details an amazing story of how his song “Mind Your Business” went viral on Vine years ago. Gio also tells us candid stories of his early days rapping, when he rapped a song about gum during a middle school talent show, to opening up for artists like Joyner Lucas, Lil Uzi Vert, G-Eazy, Dom Kennedy, amongst others, and even going on a full 14-city tour with Iamsu!. Mike & Gio also discuss a number of topics including the video games Gio loves to play with his son, and what video game he’d love to have a sync deal with, the connection between his artist name and his faith, reminiscing on the days he used to Krump, why artists should learn the basic language of audio engineering, and so much more.
