Wat Dat Iz and Gutta

In a progressing and thriving city everybody plays a part, If we was to take Austin back to the Roman Empire days this would sound more simple, bottom line you have the people ( listeners, customers, and the general public ) the people are important because their votes and also because their praises and approval is often recognized by higher powers, when one gains such approval, he could be granted freedom, but to earn his way he would have have to outlast his peers and defy all odds, truth be told Austin is just as bloodthirsty when it comes to their praises, no one is going to cheer for the unknowns. It takes a certain type of man to be exceptionally good at what he does as well as lend his intelligence to his brothers so they can aid each other to victory. Interesting enough, Gutta doesn't see himself as a king of his city, he sees himself as a gladiator. A gladiator who is still learning from his battles and has more to accomplish.

Born and raised in Austin Texas, Brandon Williams better known as Gutta has already established himself as the hometown hero. Earning awards amongst his peers and gaining victories in state-wide rap battles further solidifies this notion. The flip side to this coin is in being a hero you are no longer a man trying to reach a goal but you become a topic of discussion. Without asking or registering for a fight, Gutta's name will often be thrown into a hat of who is the best. Some people love to see him succeed and other love to see him fail but mainly people just love to him battle, win or lose. Gutta's songwriting style could be best described as energetic, pure and true to sport, his punchlines, metaphors and topics come at you in different ways, and his stance on a track isn't always the same either. Although many battles won, Gutta is just getting warmed up as he is getting request for more paid features and shows. Expect the unexpected as he prepares for his 4 disc release “ Cut to the Chase “. which comes out this month, July 29th!

I don't need another 30 seconds to explain why I picked Gutta to be on the Wat Dat Iz album, but let me just note that I have two of his posters on my wall, one for “Industrial Strength” and another for “Feed Me Beats”, He has been easy to work with far as promotions, photo shoots and studio sessions and he delivers on his word. He is on the first track ( Wat Dat Iz remix prod. by Crooked T ) and he is the first voice you hear when you pop in the cd. Both of his verses are standouts and I look forward to working with him again on the next album!
