Googie

Born in Manhattan and raised in West New York, NJ, Googie is a genuine product of the East Coast. He is known for his quick, articulate delivery of witticisms and his ability to stand out on any production style. While reminiscent of classic rappers such as Redman and Big L, Googie brings his own unique flavor, drawing upon his experiences and the creative community around him. Part of the dynamic, Queens-based hip-hop crew, the Karma Kids, Googie stands out as a smooth, relatable emcee amongst the chaos.

On his most recent project, “’Tis What ’Tis,” Googie carries his listener through his own personal journeys, elucidating his experiences as a kid from Jersey, a hungry emcee finding his voice, and a young adult traveling a city where he’s made his home. Featuring production from Blockhead, Headtrip, Samurai Banana, Red Dirt The Illusionist and more, as well as guest verses from Warren S. Britt, Premrock, and the Karma Kids, “’Tis What ’Tis” is a collection of carefully selected sounds and narratives that encompass Googie’s attitude and lifestyle.
