There’s been some good buzz lately around Ghettosocks’ new video for Don’t Turn Around (feat. Edgar Allen Floe), and for his upcoming album, Treat of the Day. Earlier this week the video was featured on the 2DOPEBOYZ website, which was a real treat.

This week, Don’t Turn Around as also made it on to the Play Count, “the Volume’s weekly mix of the best in recent hip-hop”, alongside rappers Young Jeezy, Joell Ortiz, and more.

To top things off, Ghettosocks was interviewed in our local weekly, The Coast, and Treat of the Day was the Pick of the Week in the Chronicle Harold.

Hey G’socks, it’s good you finally get some more exposure! You deserve it. Looking forward to the new album. I hope you can get a physical copy as well, no?

Keep up the good work man! (and hopefully get around to some international touring – come to Amsterdam!)

Chris.

GHETTOSOCKS MEDIA INFO

Ghettosocks is Halifax's own Tony Bennett of the rap game. Putting the 'RA' back in 'RAP', Socks lyrically pushes, shoves, romances, and shoplifts his way on the mic. With a strong connection to the early '90s Hip Hop landscape, Socks explores fresh new terrain.

Founding member of Alpha Flight, known for his uncanny freestyling abilities, Ghettosocks has come of age with his first solo release, Get Some Friends. His follow-up release, I Can Make Your Dog Famous Mixtape, featuring the legendary DJ Jorun Bombay on the cuts, is the proving ground that Socks is the leader of a new breed of emcee. Socks' latest oeuvre is the pièce de resistance. Treat of the Day is a fresh 16-pack of brand-new, high-cholesterol songs, featuring special guests El da Sensei, Pumpkinhead, Edgar Allen Floe, Cesar Comanche, D-Sisive, Muneshine, Apt, and Timbuktu.
