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.

‘Elephant In The Room’. His retail album ‘Blind Elephant’ is coming out in
February 2013.
