I had no idea who Gemstones was until Mills let me here some of his material back in the day. This guys can rhyme and he always delivers a message in his music. Peep his latest video and make sure you listen. Bless.
My reason for writing “Circles” was to bring more awareness of black on black crime in our communities. Knowing I can’t change the world but if I reach one my job is done,” says Gemstones. In 2012, Chicago had 500 murders; in 2013, the Chicago Tribune reported that there were 440 murders, and is currently reporting 280 murders. Gemstones wanted his first single to address the violence and let the kids know there is a better way to handle our differences. This is a sample of the type of positive, spirit filled message Gemstones is bringing forth on his debut album “Blind Elephant” that will be released February 24th, 2015.
Blind Elephant coming soon….
