About

Double G also known online as (DoubleG410) is a Baltimore-born hip-hop artist known for blending motivational energy, emotional depth, and genre-bending soundscapes. With over 4 million streams worldwide as a fully independent artist, Double G has carved out a unique lane in modern hip hop, creating music that inspires fans while crossing into unexpected spaces like professional sports, culture, and direct-to-fan platforms.

Most recently, his momentum reached a new level with the release of "The Lou," a tribute record inspired by his real-life connection to the St. Louis Cardinals organization. The song followed the success of his motivational anthem "How Bad Do You Want It" being played at Busch Stadium and led to a featured story by veteran sportswriter Rob Rains on STL Sports Page, further cementing Double G's growing presence at the intersection of music and sports.

Double G began his career performing across the East Coast, playing more than 30 live shows in major cities including Chicago, New York, and Washington D.C. His early buzz in 2019 set the stage for bigger things, but setbacks and the pandemic forced a reset. Now he’s returned sharper than ever, focused on building a sustainable music brand, strengthening direct-to-fan relationships, expanding his reach through both music and strategic opportunities, and inspiring fans worldwide. That growth is now also driven by fatherhood, shaping both his perspective and the legacy he is building through his music.
