Gappy Ranks latest EP “Cookies” has been flowing through big sound systems all around the world since it’s release in 2012. Offering a variety of sounds and lyrical skills, Gappy is always a thrill to watch live on the mic. I captured his act back in November 2011 when he came through the Rogue Valley on tour with Collie Buddz & New Kingston and am definitely looking forward to catching his performance once again inna Southern Oregon!!!
