“Boston MC Gio Dee has been slowly raising the bar for Boston's rap scene alongside with his #CHEFBoyz (Creating Hits Everyone Feels) music group.“ - Earmilk
Boston rapper Gio Dee garnered national attention when social media sensation, Jerry Purpdrank, posted his “Mind Yo Business” song on a Vine that ultimately went viral. Since then, Gio’s “Mind Yo Business” music video has skyrocketed to over 1 million views on YouTube. Just weeks before Christmas, 2015, Gio released his Mind Yo Business EP, which features production by Metro Boomin & TM88, as well as guest appearances by Bay Area native IAMSU! and Atlanta newcomer Madeintyo. The success of the EP lead to Gio opening up for Lil Uzi Vert at Middle East, G-Eazy at the HOB Boston, and IAMSU's 14 city "Eyes On Me Tour" with Mod Sun, Gravez and Salma Slims in the summer of 2016.
Gio released his first full-length project, “Never Going Back,” April 28, 2017 in partnership with Black 17 Media, a subsidiary of Sony RED. This album featured Iamsu, Lil Rich, Eli Sostre, who among others, helped Gio to shape the vibe.
All the while, Gio has been collaborating with some of hip-hop’s brightest stars. He has been working with Quentin Miller long before he became known as “Drake’s ghostwriter.” They released countless songs together, including “The Ride,” “Sodium,” and “All Before” which hit number three on Audiomack’s Top Trending Songs list the same day it premiered. Gio also appeared on Marc E. Bassy’s latest album, “Post Modern Depression,” providing a smooth intro to track 12, “15 Minutes.”
Gio released his long-awaited project, “Ready Now?” January 17, 2020. Stream the project here, fanlink.to/IMREADYGIODEE, and watch the official video for his lead single , “Flee Talk,” which was directed by Lonestar below:
