About this user

Godamus Rhyme has a message for the rest of world: Im better than you. Such statements should be expected, considering the epithet hes embraced over the past few years. A bold statement for such a relative unknown, but upon closer inspection one finds there is reason. Godamus is an army of one, simultaneously holding down the roles of rapper, singer, producer, engineer, promoter and multimedia designer. His latest endeavor with NYCs 6th Sense, 6th Sense vs. Godamus Rhyme: The Adventures of Rhyme & Sense serves as a testament to those skills.

Growing up in Prince Georges County, part of the area known as the DMV, Godamus was surrounded by music his whole life, but began to take it seriously in middle school. Starting with nothing more than a 4 track and a Casio keyboard, he began producing and recording for himself and his friends out of necessity. Nobody else was going to do it. We were all alone. Only one other crew in our high school rapped and we were better. I figured Id give the studio thing a shot. Those early sessions sparked a passion for the creative process that led him to enroll at Hampton Universitys Music Technology program on a full academic scholarship. However, frustrations with the lack of focus on recording and production in the curriculum caused him to leave and enroll in Orlando, FLs world famous Full Sail University.

It was there he flourished, absorbing the teachings of platinum selling engineers and producers, while simultaneously honing his writing skills. During the wait for graduation Godamus recorded and released Cocky Bastard: the Bootleg Files, his first mixtape. He entered battles and performed as often as possible around Orlando, promoting the release earning a reputation for an energetic live show and commanding stage presence.

Graduation came and went, and in 2005 Godamus joined forces with friends Redd Simpkins, Kap Kallous, and DJ Dolo to form Caveman Theory. During those years he would perfect his live show and delivery, demonstrating clear influences from artists like Busta Rhymes, Rakim, Black Star, Wu-Tang Clan and Big Pun.

Caveman Theory would go on to release The Cro-Magnon Mixtape and their debut album The Stone Quartet. The LP received rave reviews across the country and overseas, reaching the top 10 on the CMJ radio charts. The group would tour up and down the east coast sharing stages with notables such as Boot Camp Click, Immortal Technique, and the Justus League. Sadly, the group would decide to part ways at the end of 2007.

Taking this as a sign, Godamus decided to re-emerge as a soloist and fully embraced his Cocky Bastard persona. There were no rules anymore, and it showed in the genius that led to his current style: a unique mix of rapping, vocalization, and hard hitting production.

April 28th, 2009 marks the release of The Adventures of Rhyme & Sense, a mash up mixtape featuring Godamus rapping and singing over the full 32 tracks of Its a 6th Sense Beat Yo!, the instrumental project released by New York producer 6th Sense in December 2008. It took a month to finish, he explains. 2 weeks to write it all, and the rest of the time to finish the recording, mixing, edits and artwork. All while working a full time job. This is the only beginning. With a release schedule that calls for at least one more mixtape (Cocky Bastard 2), two EPs (Classically Trained and Confidence), and the possibility of a debut LP (Sing My Dreams) all before the end of the year, its a safe bet youll be hearing from this confident young man for a long time.
