Ghais Guevara

Born and raised in North Philly amidst both guns and gang avoidance tactics, nurtured and educated using generational radical Black leftist thought, Ghais Guevara revels in the juxtapositions and narrative conflicts of his life with standout projects such as There Will Be No Super-Slave and Goyard Ibn Said. Both of which have received critical and cultural recognition from the likes of Vice, NPR, The Needle Drop, and beyond for their witty and compelling lyrical navigations soundtracked by this one-man band’s beatmaking ability.
