Atlantic City is a resort city on New Jersey’s Atlantic coast that’s known for its many casinos, wide beaches and iconic Boardwalk. But what happens if you wander past the casinos? You will find a melting pot of cultures, influenced by the Tri-State. From its soul food Restaurant Kelsey & Kim’s, to its local clothing brand hub SwapzAC. What many don’t know about the casino town is it’s thriving music scene.
Although Atlantic City isn’t prominently known for its music, Gatti800 is changing that by storm. Born in the Back of the City, Back Maryland avenue, Gatti800 began his artistry at age 16. Gatti was inspired to create music by his uncles rap group “800blok”. Influenced by the likes of Meek Mill, & Fabolous, the NJ artist has never looked back.
Before the pandemic, Gatti800 performed at Atlantic City’s Springfest, which hosted Dababy, Albee Al, Tsu Surf and Fatboy SSE. Gatti800 garnered the support of his fellow NJ artists, which led to collaborations with Dababy, and Albee Al.
The NJ rapper is fresh of the release of his “Hardball” inspired album “G-Baby”, which pays homage to the fallen character. With his city continuing to rally around him, Gatti800 releases his latest visual “Knock Knock”. The bouncy video continues his penchant for his ratchet yet fun sound. In the video, Gatti800 finds himself on the wrong end of a sneaky link. The success of the video has recently circulated into tiktok.
