El Gant (feat. Infinity Gauntlet) – “Bases Loaded”
If you’re a sub par rap crew, the worst thing you could do is challenge Infinity Gauntlet. The East Coast underground supergroup made up of El Gant, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Bekay, F.T. and Red Eye, all have their own distinct sound, but when they come together, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Sharing the same name as the popular arcade game “Bases Loaded,” El Gant unveils the latest visuals taken from his Beast Academy LP, which showcases four minutes of heavy, abrasive rhymes and guitar dominating sounds, courtesy of JOAT (Jack of all Trades). Between shots of the emcees ripping the mic and getting ready to swing for the fences, we get to see them giving their expert opinions on a hilarious panel. Beast Academy is available through all major digital retailers, and is available on CD via Fat Beats, UGHH and Best Buy.
