After releasing several mixtapes, and a full length album, the prolific NYC based veteran emcee, El Gant is pleased to release his latest full length effort, Beast Academy. The album is produced entirely by JOAT (Jack Of All Trades), who to date has produced for the likes of La Coka Nostra, Ill Bill, and Vinnie Paz, among others. Beast Academy is an aggressive, fast paced offering that pairs the lyrically inclined Gant with several of the industries most revered lyricists, from seasoned vets such as El Da Sensei (of The Artifacts), and Ill Bill, to today's burgeoning talents like Chris Webby and Torae. The ten track offering also includes a helping hand on "Based Loaded" from El Gant's super group Infinity Gauntlet, which consists of Shabaam Sahdeeq, F.T., Bekay and Red Eye. Beast Academy is now available on CD via Fat Beats and UGHH, and for download via iTunesand all other digital retailers.
