The DMV Daily – How would you describe the music that you typically create?

Gordo – I’m definitely a storyteller depending on the beat I implement real-life situations and give it a vibe

Gordo – Normally depending on the beat, I try to put down a hook first just to get the vibe. Sometimes it could be just whatever mood I’m in or maybe something I’m going through.

Gordo – Nothing was built overnight stay down 

Gordo – A cook at my own food truck. You’d be surprised how I throw down.

Gordo – I think it provided me with a platform for the music and for my bars to be able to be heard. A month ago I was able to freestyle to Desean Jackson, Chubbie Baby and Dj Cosmic Kev on IG live during the whole lockdown, and hearing the positive feedback from them goes a long way with me.
