ABOUT

Genin

Str8 gutta's music is golden era hiphop at it's finest from Boom bap to G-funk,Trap and back again. Working alongside the man himself Jeremiah "Chubbs" Akers at Soundproof Studios and the infamous Nathan "Nato" Down at Up In Arms Studios, it is safe to say the quality speaks for itself. Just listening to Gutta's lyrics and seeing him move a crowd is enough to know he is heavily influenced by Wu-tang Clan at his core making subtle references to the iconic group in his catalog and naming them as the foundation for his skill set eventually leading to multiple collaborations between himself and the Gods.
