The Second Coming - Gods and Monsters






Gods and Monsters




The Second Coming
The Company You Keep

Damien Streets
Brent William


Who are they? Brent William + Damien Streets = Gods and Monsters. Just a couple of rappers who probably need psychiatric help, that and some money to pay bills and buy Jordans. 

This is not your old school new school hip hop. This isn’t your big brothers homemade mix tape. Flared with real world experience and dreams, a pumpkin spice coffee and avocado rolls, streets and “the ginger” roll through words and ideas, dreams and failures, heaven and hell. Never leaving you behind, tagging a picture of what ifs and could bes.

They don’t sound like House of Pain, and they aren’t a part of the Young Money Cash Money Millionaires. They are a part of the AZ underground hip hop scene, which seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Don’t look for DMX in this crowd, but rather young and old who can see the bigger picture, who want to be a part of this movement and are willing to march to a different beat.

Comparing them to other well-known groups is unjustifiable. But If I had to create a mash up I would say they have the stylings of slaughterhouse, some D12, and the powerful words of NaS. But to add a label to who they are would toss them into the pond of wannabe “rappers” and “Juggalos”.

Download their album, not because you’re a ‘hip hop’ follower, but because you want to support the AZ hip hop scene, you want to think outside the box, you don’t want to be a follower but a leader. Don’t be the sheep. Be the wolf.

Gods and Monsters……..lyrical serial killers.
