Hailing from "The Port" neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. GNipsey has played an influential role in the bubbling Massachusetts Drill scene. Now with fellow Cambridge-native and buzzing rap superstar, Millyz, as his mentor, GNipsey has taken an even larger and more influential step forward. Despite his current momentum though, few things in life have come easy. Having lost friends early in life, GNipsey's distinct voice reflects the pain and anger he carries with him daily. Now at 23, GNipsey plays a very different role for his community, one that has the one-time street general now looking to lead his community to a place of pride and potential through his success and example as a man.
