Basicali - I Choose You EP



Gio Basicali is an L.A. based Indie artist, former front man of the Hip-Hop band Homestyle and you have been sleepin' on him majorly.....One of the few cats on the forefront of bringing back feel good, conscious Hip-Hop to Los Angeles and surrounding areas, the solid emcee and former youth minister has obliged Hip-Hop by releasing his new EP "I Choose You" with the help of Acrylick Clothing....The 5 track EP is the picture portrait of dope underground/Indie music and gets my nod as one of the illest EP's of the year.

Whether matching the breakneck drums on "Get Free" with tales of hardships within his life, breaking down his gifts and how he relays them on the ultra soulful "Roses", showing his love for knowledge and a blue collar lifestyle over a familiar sample flip on "I Choose You", speaking candidly to his audience about all the terrible Hip-Hop out there on "Fuck Pluggin'" or celebrating the thought of redemption on "Second Chance", this diverse and well executed EP is what you need in your life....
