EGDABEAST With a flow reminiscent of an era when classic hip-hop reigned supreme, Ernest Brevard Gibson III (a.k.a. EGDABEAST) is the next big name in Sacramento rap. His fans call him the young future legend, and it’s easy to see why. A rapper and producer who cuts his own unique lane with the classic west coast sound, his music is reminiscent of rap’s golden era, but with a modern touch that’s sure to appeal to young listeners who weren’t even born when people like E-40 first started dropping albums. EGDABEAST’s rapping is also distinctly Californian in its swagger and vibe—he’s mastered both flow and style, which makes him hard to ignore in a scene already saturated with talent. His skills don’t stop at his lyrics though, he’s got skill behind the boards as well. Among Sacramento rappers, EGDABEAST is definitely one to watch.
