It’s not every day you come across a recording artist whose flow is so smooth and lyrics so powerful that he puts you in the mind of hip hop pioneers from the inception of the rap era. The Fleet Mag reporter DJ Swag 100, got the opportunity to sit down with a rare recording artist who is just that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renowned artist Casablanca the Gawd, known for his gritty lyrics and compelling storytelling, is a one-of-a-kind artist. No stranger to the mic, Casablanca has been in the industry for some time. He recently took a break from music, but now he\u2019s back on the grind, hitting harder than ever, just like he never left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There\u2019s a passion that burns inside of an artist, and we ain\u2019t talking about a rapper. It’s different from that. The energy that\u2019s in me is from an artist’s perspective, and we make music that fans will appreciate,” <\/em><\/strong>Casablanca said. \u201cI think it was long overdue, so we got the energy moving and brought you tracks that we have out now.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChe Noir been on the radar for a minute. She been snapping necks in the game for a minute, so of course I knew who she was.
