GDP

GDP is a rapper and producer from New Jersey in the United States. He works in hip-hop and is associated with underground and East Coast rap.

Style and recording

His 2011 release Useless Eaters leans toward a pulsing, futuristic grime style. He then moves in a more reflective direction on Holla, a Run for Cover Records release built around jazzy, serene samples and cinematic orchestral interludes produced entirely by The Wrong Address. The record presents a narrative about young love and uncertainty in relationships, with GDP delivering sharp couplets and brief, vivid scenes across a stream-of-consciousness approach.

Work and profile

GDP is presented as an artist with a wide range, moving between darker experimental textures and more intimate, melodic material. His writing combines abrasive lyricism with more contemplative subject matter, and his recordings show a focus on atmosphere as well as verse-led hip-hop structure.
