Gemstones Writing For John Legend


Gemstones, formerly known as Gemini, is a Chicago emcee that began his career in 2001 when he connected with then unknown rapper Lupe Fiasco. Not long after meeting Lupe, Gemstones got signed to his record label 1st and 15th Entertainment. His career could be defined as a success; he has appeared on major networks like MTV regularly, released hit songs, toured the world and collaborated with some of the elite in Hip-Hop like Drake, Lupe Fiasco and Jay-Z. After releasing his sophomore album ‘The Testimony of Gemstones’, he decided to part ways with his 1st and 15th family.  Gemstones took a short break from music and focused his attention on his relationship with Jesus Christ.

In 2010 Gemstones returned to the game with a brand new perspective on life and released an album called ‘Road to Glory’ that expressed the changes he was experiencing. Since then his fan base has consistently grown and he is touring in various cities. His resume continues to get more impressive as he writes and produces for different types of artist. Recently Gemstones announced that John Legend is waiting for a song from him and that he is writing it. If you’re unfamiliar with John Legend, he is a 9 time Grammy award winning singer-songwriter that has sold millions of records. Gemstones could be responsible for a future platinum selling single by John Legend. That’s good news for those cheering on urban believers.

Check out his latest mix tape ‘Elephant In The Room’. His retail album ‘Blind Elephant’ is coming out in February 2013.
