Auggie The 9th‘s name has been resonating within the Chicago Hip Hop scene thanks to his hypeman role for ShowYouSuck’s live sets and two mixtapes he dropped entitled Peoples Court Complete & Now That’s What I Call Krej. Now, with his forthcoming project GAWS being his most serious and focused piece of work to date, Auggie is aiming to expand his solid fan-base. While Peoples Court and NTWICK were almost exclusively freestyles over popular instrumentals, GAWS will have original production (mostly handled by Savier of Animuse) and more thought-out concepts. “I Was Never Here” is the first single from the project and in it you can find a The XX sample, guest-vocals by RH Indie music writer Brynn Bixby and the emcee spitting on his current situation, dreams and aspirations. If you’re not excited for GAWS yet, you should be. I promise it won’t disappoint.
