Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.  -Victor Hugo
New York, NY, February 5, 2009 – Hip Hop Recording Artist G. Dot and Big House Records have just released his NEW mix tape, Gulf Stream Muzik, featuring the NEW single, Ohh. Gulf Stream Muzik includes 13 tracks from G.Dot, telling of his personal journey through life, the pain, the struggle and the good times and to do it big, or don't do it at all.
Born Shawn Ivory McKnight, G.Dot's restless childhood and adolescence were spent in Harlem, New York. Raised by his grandmother, G.Dot navigated his way through a less than perfect childhood. He recalls, "My parents weren't really around. I lived with my grandma since 1985. My parents were in the streets a lot. Overall they were good people but they had their priorities messed up at the time. They chose the streets first, that's why we went to live with my grandma in '85. She became my mom and dad."
At its' most powerful, music transcends barriers, uniting people who on the surface may seem to have little in common. Such is the case with G.Dot, the Harlem born lyricist whose background is no barrier for music lovers.  On his mix tape album, Gulf Stream Muzik, one can hear the power and dedication to a genre of music recently referred to as 'dead'. G.Dot takes his listeners on energetic, witty and authentic musical journey.
G.Dot's music is infused with an air of delayed fulfillment. Focusing on the harsh realities of life, G.Dot creates music that is not only honest but engaging. "I think my music will attract a cross culture of listeners because my music is universal. I create songs that everyone can listen and relate to. I try to make my listeners feel as if they wrote the song." And that he does. With titles "Almost Home", a song that confesses his lifetime devotion to hip hop, "Ohh" (His single), a personal proclamation to his own esteem, and "They Say" is a cross over song that's telling the haters that he will do his thing, no matter what. G.Dot plans to bring a long awaited addition to the culture of Hip Hop.
With a lifetime of stories told using gifted lyrics, G.Dot is positioned to express what cannot be said; for it is impossible for him to remain silent.
