Gabe 'Nandez
New York rapper with baritone, dense memoir bars
Based in New York, United States
‘Nandez raps in a clipped cadence with a raw baritone, sitting over moody production that leaves room for the writing. Expect personal narrative, social commentary and a set shaped by the darker, more reflective end of New York rap.
