Big Gee

Just because the first time that you witnessed Big Gee’s mean-mugging scowl was holding down one-fourth of Boyz-N-Da-Hood video for “Dem Boyz,” don’t think that the A-town trap star is new to the rap game. Serving neighborhood hip hop fiends across Atlanta with hard-edged street anthems and gritty Down South production, Gee has been moving underground rhymes like weight since hooking up with label CEO Russell “Block” Spencer almost eight years ago.
