The full-length project, set to be released on November 18, 2014, will be celebrated with an intimate listening party followed by the official album release party. Hosted by Art Beats + Lyrics Radio’s  “Day 1 Radio Show” team, the “Super.” album listening session is a private affair that will take place on Monday, November 10, 2014 at Blue Room Studios (500 Bishop St. NW, Atlanta GA 30318) from 7pm – 9pm.

ABOUT GILLES:

Brooklyn-born, Atlanta-raised rapper Gilles doesn’t have the stereotypical hip-hop backstory. There is no hardscrabble history, no illegal hustle here. In fact, the rhymer from ATL’s Buckhead neighborhood was an attorney before he decided to take his musical career to the next level. Ready to break away from the corporate America grind, Gilles leverages his career to fuel and finance his passion of pursuing his music career. Amid the “turn up,” Gilles’ lyrics provide a smooth change of pace that is both gritty and artfully crafted. A self-proclaimed lover of the ladies, this Howard University graduate, seeks to represent his generation, a generation of individuals seeking something more, something to go hard for. His combination of Southern lyricism, his atypical tastes and history make for an interesting mix of relatability and uniqueness.
