“The Care Package is an interesting mixture of sounds and sonic inspiration that has the group moving in a few varying directions but never losing its identity. It’s an interesting dynamic that’s worth the listen again and again.” -Ghetto Blaster Magazine
Baltimore Hip-Hop collective GAWDS has dropped visuals for their newest single, “Oh No.” Though a braggadocious, lyrical attack replete with cuts, the track and visual have an introspective element. Emcees Pinpoint, L3, and Regulus are literally split in two, with their artist persona attacking their civilian identities. As Regulus explains, “it reflects our normal life/work life selves and our rapper selves frustrated at how both interfere with our daily routines. A metaphor for the balance we struggle with daily.”

“Oh No” is featured on GAWD’s new LP, The Care Package (album available via all streaming services now). Of the album, Regulus reveals “this album displays a lot more of L3’s (singer/emcee) R&B and Soul sensibilities as opposed to our usual classic boom-bap approach. The result is our most diverse, introspective, and personal release.” Rounded out by DJ Rocky Styles, the album touches a variety of topics in the first-hand perspective, including fatherhood, divorce, and former friends.
Album guests include Baltimore Brethren, including Clif Love, Briana La Barz, Pete The Dark Truth, Richard Cranium, and Kardo The Don. It also welcomes two San Antonio, Texas artists, Spy MC and Blazy Green that the group built with last summer while on tour. As Regulus recalls, “the track ‘Change Up’ feat Spy MC was written and recorded right after we got off the plane. The recording session was from 1am-4am.”
