(Philadelphia, PA) – With a consistent social media base and a real movement in the streets, Philly rapper and Ape Gang affiliate Garci returns with a freestyle over one of the hottest songs in the country. Jackin for beats on Chedda da Connect’s hit song “Flick of Da Wrist,” Garci proves why he has such a strong buzz in Philly. The song will be featured on Garci’s Gangland proeject set for release in the coming months.

(Pittsburgh, PA) – Having been bubbling as a mixtape king in the streets of Pittsburgh several years prior to joining Wiz Khalifa on the Waken Baken tour in 2010, Chevy Woods‘ legacy is well-renowned in his hometown as he’s continued to make waves abroad with the Taylor Gang. “Now That I’m Up” follows Woods‘ SXSW I Love Texas EP, which he released during the week of the festival, and his Gangland 3 mixtape, which released at the top of the year.

Co-produced by fellow Pittsburgher Sledgren and Chicagoan RMB Justize, the trunk-rattling trap beat for “Now That I’m Up” compliments Chevy Woods‘ boastful auto-tuned raps. Filmed just south of Pittsburgh, blue and red coloring detach Woods from the grayscale backgrounds of a construction yard and vintage car garage, which bares a TGOD graffiti tag.
