Jamal Gasol has recently released his new video “Survival” the first track of his album “Dirty Waters”. So, who is Jamal Gasol? Well, this underground mc was born in 1990, with a great love for music already he started rapping from the young age of 12. Jamal Gasol’s main inspiration was growing up on the rough streets of Niagara Falls, New York. After I listened to his music and looked into where he’s from it’s not what you would expect from the home to one of the most beautiful things on the planet, but, Niagara is not such a nice place. When you are from a bad area, there’s never enough money put into helping the young people and it’s not uncommon for them to turn to selling drugs just to get by, really it’s just one of the many issues of the lower classes that is swept under the rug all of the time. This is Jamal’s main topic of choice in his music, so there’s meaning to his rhymes and I appreciate that a lot as I’m from a rough place with a high drug rate with little to no police. It’s always good to hear something that isn’t just about money and bitches. Not all people rate trap but I’m a fan of UK grime which is very similar so personally I rate this one, true New York.
