Born and raised in San Diego, California, Gerry is part of the Die Daily collective as well as being an experienced emcee in his own right. Working alongside the youth work team at his church, he also aims to help see communities change and influence the generation. Musically, this EP shows the range of music from southern styles and contemporary beats ("Time") through to boom bap underground flows and beats ("Use Me"): this is an album as wide as Gerry's aims as an artist and Christ follower. Skrillz paints vivid lyrical pictures and isn't afraid to speak from the heart about his own struggles, "Sinner", featuring the delicious vocals of Ashilann. Standout track is the southern styled minimalist and impassioned "Godspeed" where the rapper finds his only hope and purpose is in God.
