Going against the grain in a world full of trappers and popstars,Theonlyejose represents preserving the vision and relaying the message HIP HOP began with — the black plight AND advancement of the people. A soulful upbringing of the Temptations, Curtis Mayfield and Anita Baker blended with influences like ATCQ, Das EFX and Lauryn Hill, it was inevitable ’a message’ would be the focus of the producer turned emcee’s music. His movement, G. A. W. D. (GAWDs) — Gain All Wisdom Divinely — embodies the forbidden knowledge of the Black man and woman as the beginning and the infinite. 
 “The Melanated children of the Earth are not only products of the universe but we are all interconnected. And if we ever realize it, we will be unstoppable.” 
 They say history repeats itself, and it’s safe to say Theonlyejose will be front and center when the next era of GAWDs take their rightful place in the game.
