THE GENT$ - "League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen" prod. by DJ VADIM

"Resembling the rat pack/ 21 blackjack/ brief case rap/ we abandoned the backpack."

Ladies and Gentleman, THE GENT$ (Pugs Atomz, Wes Restless, Ill Legit) and DJ VADIM bring you a very special collaboration not to be missed. Let them introduce you to the "League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen". A virtual guide (if you will) to what makes them Gent$ and what is considered gentlemanly. This is the first leak off their upcoming Ep scheduled to be released later this summer.

THE GENT$ Centerstage interview

Big Thanks to Jeff Min and all the people at Centerstage Chicago.


"In a time when hip-hop collaborations can get a bit stale, it's hard to find a group as freshly innovative as The Gent$...

Centerstage found the rhythms of The Gent$ too good to resist, and sat down with them to talk about everything from the serendipitous nature of their work to how the Sybaris makes for a wonderful place to shoot a video"
Jeff Min - Centerstage Chicago
