Scopez
Gerry Scopez embodies the different views of life through music. The micro“scope” in his mind enables him to magnify and retract the views of the rap game, and it is certainly reflected in his diversity in hip-hop style. Often viewed as an anti-socialite, the 23 year old Vancouver-bred Chinese emcee combines polar opposites to balance himself and set his musical style apart from any other. Also a producer, the diversity of Scopez ranges from a heavy boom-bap influence with simplistic chopped-up samples to a more experimental sound with the use of synthesizers and 808’s. See colors, see sounds, see stars, this is LIFE UNDER SCOPEZ. YVR . YYZ .
