GemStones - On The Road To Glory My Story [Mixtape]


If you recognise the name GemStones then you’d know this fella has long been affiliated with Lupe Fiasco, having heavily featured on a lot of Lupe’s work to-date. What you may not know is that GemStones has been quiet for a minute, whilst switching his focus to his personal health (lost a incredible amount of weight!) and personal enlightenment.

I’m pleased to see that he’s back on his grind in the form of this mixtape, and having heard one leak from this (where he talks a lot about his weight loss and issues he faced trying to achieve that, amongst other things) I can tell you that he’s not lost any of his ability to make good music. This is certainly one to check out and props to gowherehiphop for premièring this!

GemStones Returns With My Hood


Nice to have you back! For those who aren’t familiar with GemStones, he used to go under the name Gemini and featured multiple times on both of Lupe’s albums, contributing massively to The Cool. He is forever etched in my memory for the phenomenal track We On, which remains one of my favourite hip-hop collaborations ever (how ridiculous are the flows on that track!?).

Anyway, I’ll get the GWHH boys tell you the rest (shouts to them on the premiere!): “GemStones is back with dope lyrical content touching on social and political issues over a soulful Chicago beat. He talks about bad neighborhoods, experiences he had, and problems he sees that need to be changed in such hoods all across the world“.

Sounds pretty damn good to me, and I’m glad to have him back making music after a long hiatus.

EDIT: This track is fantastic!
