Season Four — Episode Seven (Feat. Gabe 'Nandez)

Gabe 'Nandez—the raw New York rapper—joins us on today's episode. Those that attended our Not A Showcase in October already know 'Nandez's sharp talent. The multi-cultural rapper discusses growing up around the world and the craft of creating music as a bilingual artist.  Gabe introduces us to his longtime friend and frequent collaborator Ibekelia, as well as the street wise Rochester rapper Rigz. We sample London's young, genre-bending scene with captivating tracks from Osquello, KiLLOWEN, and Isabelle Brown.    And we tackle the opposite poles of hip-hop through Velvet Negroni's untraditional delivery to Tanner Molique's mainstream sensibilities.    Gabe also plays his own song, Conneries, from the album Cliquetape.    01 “So I Don’t Feel Useless” by Dianna Lopez 02 “La” by Ibekelia  03 "Simulated Void" by Osquello 04 "Places" by Isabelle Brown 05 “Adrenaline Rush” by KiLLoWEN  06 “The Hated” by Rigz 07 "First Time" by Velvet Negroni 08 "Like Me" by Tanner Molique 09 "Conneries" by Gabe 'Nandez  Art: Jacob Consenstein  *Not 97 is powered by the innovative music company Amuse.io, making distribution effortless for independent artists everywhere. © NOT 97.
