Gifted – Music
5 Feb
Which one would you bang? (click to make BIG)
Gifted are a two-piece musical experiment formed by vocalist PJo and producer Saum G representing the fantastic music scene of Chicago. Their first single “Music” is a curious blend of hip-hop and electro — and at some points you hear some classical strings and piano.
Something else that strikes me as interesting is the way PJo sings the song. At the beginning of the track, he’s whispering, but that doesn’t last long — he builds up the song into a pumped-up crescendo. Very nice. Also, the start-stop trend PJo has going is reminiscent of rap, but it still holds that sing-song R&B vibe throughout. They even get their Kanye on and sorta jump on the vocoder for a couple of seconds. Very tastefully done. PMA approved.
Shout out to Newborn Rodeo for tip! Grab “Music” after the jump.

Gifted ftw! “Music” is a great track.
Best line: “You can top these dollars, you can pop these bottles, you can fuck these models, but you don’t got music”.
sooo awesome to see these guys on here. i’ve heard some tracks from their album and trust me, it gets even better.
this is coming from someone who’s extremely critical when it comes to music. no pun intended, haha.
I have a new favorite song! PMA, how do you find everything??!!!
Real tight sound. Anyone know if these guys are touring?
Really good looking on the sound. I’ll be looking out for shows.
I’ve been listening to P-JO rap since he stated. Progression is his philosophy. The man won’t settle and just keeps on Grinding every day. His vocals over Saum G’s beats is the perfect example of that progression. Together they are forging ahead into something truly new and exciting.
Keep GrindinG

This song is amazing..it has everything you could want in a song. I listened to more of their stuff and their versatility carries into the rest of their music. I’ll definitely be lookin’ out for these guys.
These boys are going to one of the best school in the country and in addition to maintaining good grades they spend so much energy and time on their music; and it shows.
At first when I met PJo I thought this was a hobby but here he is today relentlessly working on what he’s passionate about. It’s only a matter of time before his hard work pays off.
one of my buddies hit me up with the link for this and i have to say im pretty impressed. keep up the good work fellas, i look forward to hearing more.

i go to school w/ pjo & must confess he doesn’t belong here at least not much longer, bigger things are surely waiting
This song sounds great… I hope to hear more of Gifted in the future
“Music,” one of Gifted’s tracks, encompasses much talent that this group has to offer. Not only is “Music,” an enjoyable listen, but so are other songs Gifted has out there. How exciting to see Gifted on here!
Keep on the good vibes

P Jo has been droppin sick beats since the day I met him. His flow is amazing and he can literally drop a track by just looking at something. Saum and P Jo together is combination for success. Just be ready for their tour coming soon. They put on a great show. Keep it coming boys good work….
love it! can’t wait to see what else they’re going to put out
PJO knows what he’s doin. This music is innovative and impressive. Can’t wait to hear more.
This is a great song; very refreshing to the ears. It proves that there is still hope in experimentation instead of cheap “me-too” reproductions that clog the radio waves these days. I’d definately purchase an album.
SO exciting that you are getting the recognition you have worked so hard for!! can’t wait to see you perform at Canopy!
Real simplistic, not overdone, and i see mad room for improvement.
Keep it funky,
and as a photographer big ups to the photographer good shot…

Not only is this song sick but they have a ton of original stuff. The best part about all this is they put on a great live performance as well. Ive heard PJO come a long way in his music and his style and its awesome that hes pursuing it. Awesome song guys keep up the good work!
This song is tight anyone know where they usually perform or where I can hear more at?
This music is unique and sick. Coming from someone who isnt too into rap, Ill listen to this shit all day
MHMMMMMM DOMINOS PIZZA SUBS ADS MAKE ME WANNA ORDER SOME
This is what music is all about. These guys generate an innovative and creative style that is itchin to blow up. This track gets my head bobbin even more performed live. Keep grindin boys, your hard work and determination for consistent improvement is really showing. Keep an eye out for this group performin near you.
I love the electronic elements used in this and that they aren’t the traditional “electronic” sounds added to most hip-hop albums—they have such a minimal, trance-influenced sound. Looking forward to more from these guys.
This song is just one example of the fresh sound that PJo has in everything he does… he thinks a lot about the tracks he comes out with and I’m excited for more.
It’s like pure, unadulterated, uncut, raw crack!
I don’t like to suck dick to get myself promoted much like “all that gifted has to offer.”
