NiLLa & Ghettosocks
NiLLa (aka Galyn Esmé) a Canadian hip-hop emcee and producer, combines conscious lyrics with catchy hooks effortlessly, smoothly rapping and singing her way over synapse snapping beats – most of which she produced herself…a fresh influence in a hip hop genre polluted with bling, misogyny, and superficiality, she is a voice for the underdog, and will never be satisfied with the status quo.
Noted as one of the top rappers in Canada (The CBC’s Top 25 Greatest Canadian Rappers Ever), Ghettosocks is a JUNO Award nominated Hip Hop Producer and MC born in Ottawa and living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. He is also the producer behind NiLLa’s most recent album Valkyrie.
