WEIGH IN – Should Concise Flo Quit His Day Job?
BIO
Observance is the sweetest pay off. Illinois born, Samuel X (Gray) grew up on the West side by way of the West Suburbs of Chicago. Motivated musically by Nas, GangStarr, Common, and Rakim- what else can you expect from this Chi-town rapper. One of the few artists who “think before he speaks,” Concise Flo will always deliver the truth. Although he has always loved hip-hop, rapping was not an option in the Tennessee State University graduate’s career path. “It started off with spoken word for several years. I never wanted to be a rapper, but I loved hip-hop and loved artists that loved delivering lyrics with substance. But I just could not see myself rapping.” It’s amazing that Concise Flo only began rapping in the latter end of 2006. “Roget’s Thesaurus states that Concise is stating much in few words. It implies clarity and compactness removing all unnecessary words. I’m a brotha that doesn’t like to speak unless I really have something to say. In music it’s the same. I don’t ever wish to do a song unless the song has meaning, substance and a message whether the message is as simple as enjoying life or as complex as the issues that face the Black diasporas and that of oppressed people in the world. Concise Flo, to me is cutting the middleman out and giving people pure soul. Concise Flo is music that make your brain tingle or may upset you if my music makes you wear the shoe that fits you.

My dude is Fire respect the lyrical substance. Were not getting that at all in Hip Hop anymore.Concise Flo is Hip Hop’s evidence rather you like or not. His music is reality & he is most certainly on his way to the top believe that. This Dude is truly my favorite rapper signed or unsigned. To those who can’t deal with what he’s doing your problem but you better look out. We Coming Hi-Precedent
Concise Flo ~ This young brother is demonstrates the natural wit of the old school rapper, with a 2010 twist. His words & Lyrics are tight. His voice is powerful and precise. I for one think the brother has something to be nurtured. Love to hear more. Keep it on the real and positive, the new generation needs positive brothers doing positive things.
Peace ~
