Coney Island’s own Gorilla NEMS is beloved across the internet for his viral videos (“Don’t Ever Disrespect Me!”) and iconic catchphrase (“Bing Bong!”), but he’s also an accomplished underground rapper with palpable skills on the mic, signed to Paul Rosenberg’s Goliath Records & Virgin Records. For the Gorilla Fest in Coney Island, he’s assembled an impressive cast of characters, including the legendary Wu-Tang Clan MC Ghostface Killah, whose unique delivery, colorful imagery, and clever wordplay has established him as one of the premier rappers of his generation; DJ Drewski, the Hot97 DJ mentored by radio legends Cipha Sounds and Angie Martinez; Statik Selektah, a gifted turntablist and producer whose list of collaborators is as long as it is distinguished; Scram Jones, a DJ, rapper, and producer who’s cut tracks with Ghostface Killah himself, Raekwon, Styles P, Jadakiss, and many others; and Tony Touch, the legendary producer and mixtape DJ who helped shape the sounds of the underground in the 1990s.
