New Jersey underground rapper and producer GDP has released Cross Off Matthew through Run For Cover Records, marking his first proper solo album in thirteen years since 2013's Holla. The release follows his collaborative EP ENDOCRINE with Fatboi Sharif last year.
Entirely self-produced, Cross Off Matthew presents a singular aesthetic forged through vintage SP-404 samplers, dusty vinyl chops, and live instrumentation. Advance single "Mezzanine" paired a sampled traditional Japanese flute with razor-sharp autobiographical bars, with a video shot inside GDP's fire-damaged childhood home.
Across twelve tracks including "Another Country", "Island in the Sky", "Location Therapy", and "Doom Loop", GDP confronts aging, creative survival, and hard-won resilience. An album release show takes place October 25 in New Jersey ahead of American and Australian tour legs.
Thirteen years is an eternity in modern music, but GDP proves that taking the time to live real life yields art that outlasts fleeting internet trends. Discover more independent hip-hop in our hip-hop section.
