The album continues in this spoken word meets reverb fashion with songs like “All By Myself” and “Flip Em”, illuminating an almost stream of consciousness account of Canadian drug dealing. Following the same mindset comes track two, “DFWMF” if ‘YOLO’ could ever be sassier, Gisto has found a way with this ‘I do what I want’ trap anthem (trapthem?). And, speaking of deities, the track’s ethereal tonality provides the listener with an almost floating feeling, which plays into Gisto’s justifications for doing what he does – floating to the goddamn top. After a hard day’s hustle, Gisto relishes in his reaping, for “no one can judge me, but God above”. The album starts off with the title track: a ‘devil be damned’ trap track with vocal manipulation, a simple beat and a slight dubstep edge. Don’t believe yourself to be in either category? Your opinion is subject to change after tuning in. OMW combines trap mentality, synthesizers and dancehall backbeats for the dreadlocked gangsters and dirty moneymakers in all of us.

Now five years after his first full-length album, This Is It, Gisto is ready to double down with OMW out December 1st off Slammin Media. Stemming from critical acclaim even before his 2012 debut album dropped, Gisto’s hustling nature and dope beats have scored him stage time with some of the most notable names of rap and reggae, not to mention a 2010 Winter Olympics performance in his hometown of Vancouver.

Trap/hip hop artist Gisto is on his way to releasing his sophomore album OMW, exactly one year after his Orbitz EP blasted his career higher than his clientele.
