Charlotte, NC rap artist, Cuttaman 100gran, paid homage to his muses in his fiery new-wave hip-hop track, Bump My Music, release today on February 3rd.

Staying in the fast lane and riding his own wave, the artist that has been adding dynamism to the airwaves since 2019 carries hints of Kevin Gates, Rod wave, and Roddy Ricch in his sonic signature while scribing a fresh, grinding urban aesthetic, which balances hard hitting percussion and wavy reverb-heavy production.

Bump My Music, capable of adding adrenaline to any high-vibe hip-hop playlist, was recorded in The Playroom in Charlotte and engineered by Bungies.

Cuttaman 100gran said:

“When you have women in your life that are inspired by your stories, telling them becomes a lifestyle. Them being around me on a day-to-day basis makes every lyric that much more surreal. Their enthusiasm inspired the track.”



ABOUT

It all started in my dorm room in college in 2014. From there, I found the inspiration to build a worldwide audience with the mysterious sound quality and brutal comedic honesty in my music, create a brand that catches up with my musical creativity and make it a career.

My brand is called Polished Gods; we are refined, sophisticated and elegant; our virtues are passion, patience, persistence, purity, polish and the belief that no man or entity is bigger than god.
I take influence from Five Heartbeats, Lil Wayne, Kurt Cobain and Whitney Houston while continuing to be inspired by my collaborators, Calicoby, Von Bost, and Charmz, who also represent my brand.

So far in my career, I’ve opened for Pastor Troy in South Carolina, recorded records for Dr Dre and performed in front of 8,000 people at a concert in RockingHam, NC.

Over the last four years, Gino Black has definitely elevated his sound as a record producer as well as being deliberate in showcasing his lyrical abilities as a premiere rap artist. In addition to hip-hop/rap music, he also produces electronic dance music, alternative rock and he also composes orchestral and ambient music for film, tv and other media.

On his latest release, Gino Black is full on balls to the wall focused. He has a clear and concise message to his listeners. MOTIVATE. ELEVATE. LEVITATE. CELEBRATE. While he cautions, “Don’t celebrate to soon while your building on success…”; he commands like a drill like a drill sergeant as he instructs us to first MOTIVATE ourselves through internal bravery from within. Then he advises us to ELEVATE ourselves mentally and our circumstances via hard work, sacrifice and discipline. After which point he tells us to “LEVITATE”; and what that means is to rise above the stress, negativity and BS of life. According to Gino Black, “...it is ONLY after we have achieved true individual success from our efforts can we CELEBRATE. Celebrating your wins too soon (while in progress) can be a hindrance for additional growth and expansion.”

“LEVITATE” is a very unique record in that it has subtle nuances of peacefulness within the sonics of the production, but at the same time, it quickly and energetically and viscerally livens up and gives the listener a sensation of supercharged battery pack of energy. Listening to “LEVITATE” makes you feel like you can accomplish anything!
