Beast Academy

Known for his impeccable delivery, El Gant began building a name for himself in the early 2000's, where the quick witted emcee would end up becoming a four time MTV Direct Effect Freestyle Champion, which landed him a full page write-up in The Source Magazine.

After releasing several mixtapes, and full length albums, the prolific NYC based veteran gears up for his latest full length effort Beast Academy, produced entirely by JOAT (Jack Of All Trades), who to date has produced for the likes of La Coka Nostra, Ill Bill, and Vinnie Paz, among others.

Over the years, El Gant has collaborated with an array of iconic emcees and producers such as Kool Keith, Psycho Les of The Beatnuts, Smif-n-Wessun, Paul Nice, Ill Bill, El Da Sensei, Pacewon, J57 of the Brown Bag AllStars and many more.

Beast Academy is an aggressive, fast paced offering that pairs the lyrically inclined El Gant with several of the industries most revered lyricists, from seasoned vets such as El Da Sensei (of The Artifacts), and Ill Bill, to today's burgeoning talents like Chris Webby and Torae. The ten track offering also includes a helping hand on "Based Loaded" from El Gant's super group Infinity Gauntlet, which consists of Shabaam Sahdeeq, F.T., Bekay and Red Eye.
