Tom Gist: Byrd of a Different Feather....

I'm pretty sure that the majority of you have either heard very little or nothing at all about Tom Gist. Maybe the name throws you off, I mean, "Tom Gist, that doesn't sound like anything an emcee would name himself after". That's probably what many of you thought. Wrong, this emcee lets his "government" speak for itself. Tom Gist is the newest member of the Diplomat conglomerate and he's ready to shine. Now I know there alot mixed reviews when it comes to the Diplomats but Gist is an emcee of a different caliber. He unlike many others, has something to say. He doesn't let the pressure of the industry alter his lyrical content. Some would say that his signing to the Dips may be a short term relationship due to the style and concepts that the group represents. But Gist is as versatile as it gets. He's got a freestyle with Cam over the "Life's a Bitch" instrumental and in my opinion, Gist held the track down more than Cam did (although Cam did lay it down too!!!). Gist has about 5 mixtapes under his belt and he just finished his album on the Diplomat label titled "Initiation". I'm not the type to try and explain how emcees spit, cause every one's going to have a different opinion. I'd rather let the music speak for itself. As you can see, we've installed the "MZL Juke Box" and I put a few Tom Gist tracks on there for yall(and yes, I put track with him and Cam on there, so you be the judge!). And if after you listen to the tracks and don't think Gist is a "soon to be problem", YOUR NOT ON MY LEVEL!!!! Leave a comment let me know how you feel.
