Originally from war-torn Kosovo and not knowing how to speak a lick of [American] English, Labinot Gashi (G4SHI) learned the English and the language of Hip-Hop through listening to its some its finest contenders: Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, and JAY Z, to name a few. He’s worked with Nipsey Hussle and French Montana. In 2011, Don Canon and DJ Benzi hosted his debut mix tape “Last Of A Rare Breed“, and recently, he was on MTV RapFix with Sway. That’s how we discovered him. There’s a section on the program called “Get In The Game”, and in this instance, legendary rapper Busta Rhymes presents his video and gives the fellow Brooklynite a little advice. Watch the video that Busta Rhymes presented below.

Though, we don’t know much about his story yet, we love his style of fashion, music, and his face. We think he’ll be around for a while. Stay tuned. We’re working on getting more information to you shortly.
