Often referred to as The Grand Imperial, Gensu Dean may be Hip Hop’s best kept secret. Currently shinning bright out of Texas like the great Dj Premier, Dean utilizes a vintage sampler by Emu Systems, the classic SP1200, as his weapon of choice. With device in hand and equipped with an extensive 7,000+ piece vinyl collection, Dean has created a unique yet seamless method of "chopping” beats and samples. Being dubbed Gensu (i.e the famous razor sharp steak knife of the 80’s) he can be found digging deep in the crates which provide the backdrop for his soulful, emotive sound, that stays laced with rugged and gritty drums.
