Chris Gabo – Hype Man
Son of Colombian immigrants, Christopher Gabriel Núñez, aka Chris Gabo was born and raised in Tampa, Florida in an era where the genre was permeable and hip hop and punk rock were nothing if not synonyms. His music like his city was fast, loud, strange, and defiant. After singing in a long series of bands, the first time he rapped on stage as a solo artist was opening up for a death metal band on prom night and it only got weirder from there. He takes his namesake ‘Gabo’ from the nickname Colombians gave the father of magical realism, Gabriel García Márquez, and his complex imagistic lyrics live up to the moniker.
