Talking to [SPIN](http://www.spin.com/blogs/g-side-split-up-st-2-lettaz-preps-solo-album/) in 2012, St 2 Lettaz lamented their creative direction, saying "We needed a fresh start or a fresh look; it had gotten stale." Swearing the split was drama-free, 2 Lettaz says he had dreams of the group reuniting ["'Dang we got back together,' and then I'd wake up and, like, no, we ain't back together."](http://www.al.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2014/04/g-side_the_inside_story_behind.html) Well, he doesn't have to fear waking up anymore. After three years and a few solo projects, the Alabama duo is back as May saw the release of G-Side's sixth studio album, [Gz to Godz](http://gsidemusic.com/product/g-side-gz-ii-godz-cd/#!prettyPhoto). Across 14 tracks, G-Side's deft lyricism drifts smoothly over the almost ethereal beats supplied by longtime production crew [The Block Beattaz](https://twitter.com/blockbeattaz). If you've spent the last few weeks looking for your perfect summer jams, you just found it. Pay extra attention to the singles "2004" and "Statue". If a new album isn't enough, G-Side has also released a dreamy fifty-five minute experimental [music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Es-61bo7Low), appropriating everything from Angela Davis to Brazzerz. This album makes clear G-Side's intent, as expressed by Clova to [AL.com](http://www.al.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2014/04/g-side_the_inside_story_behind.html) "I hope – and this is God's honest truth - this record puts everybody in the position to be bosses." ### Written by [Jeff Hipsher](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/author/jeff-hipsher) Topics: [News](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/topic/news) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ![A3C_15_BADGE_STROKE_BLK@3x](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo%202019/A3C_15_BADGE_STROKE_BLK@3x.png?width=350&name=A3C_15_BADGE_STROKE_BLK@3x.png)   ![banner-acid-pro-next-300x300](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Flyers%20-%20Posters/banner-acid-pro-next-300x300.png?width=300&name=banner-acid-pro-next-300x300.png)     ### Featured Posts ### Suggested Posts - A3C - [The Artist Center](https://www.a3cfestival.com/artistcenter) - [The Studio](https://www.a3cfestival.com/studio) - [Creator Complex](https://www.a3cfestival.com/creator-complex) - [Artist Guide](https://www.a3cfestival.com/artist-guide) - [Host Hotel](https://www.ihg.com/hotelindigo/hotels/us/en/find-hotels/hotel/rooms?qDest=230+Peachtree+Street+NE%2C+Atlanta%2C+GA%2C+US&qCiMy=92019&qCiD=8&qCoMy=92019&qCoD=14&qAdlt=1&qChld=0&qRms=1&qRtP=6CBARC&qIta=99801505&qGrpCd=ATC&qSlH=ATLID&qAkamaiCC=US&qSrt=sBR&qBrs=re.ic.in.vn.cp.vx.hi.ex.rs.cv.sb.cw.ma.ul.ki.va&qAAR=6CBARC&qWch=0&qSmP=1&setPMCookies=true&qRad=30&qRdU=mi&srb_u=1&icdv=99801505&__hstc=97734592.ac5da2eda2592925768ef94273ff3219.1498146208812.1561469063428.1561562833685.1852&__hssc=97734592.1.1561575968691&__hsfp=2707452779&hsCtaTracking=2b1f9477-bed8-49ed-9119-47e0922bdf8a%7Cd96ac07d-43a7-4442-9040-c64f5b89250a) - [News](https://blog.a3cfestival.com) - Connect - [App](https://www.a3cfestival.com/app) - [Twitter](http://twitter.com/a3c) - [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/a3cfestival) - [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/user/A3CFest) - [Instagram](https://instagram.com/a3cfestival/) - INDEX - [Partnership Opportunities](https://www.a3cfestival.com/partner) - [Submit to Perform](https://www.a3cfestival.com/perform) - [Speaker & Mentor Applications](https://www.a3cfestival.com/speaker-mentor-applications) - [Submit an Event or Show](https://www.a3cfestival.com/showcase-submission) - [Submit a Panel or Session](https://www.a3cfestival.com/conference-submissions) - [Intern/Volunteer](https://www.a3cfestival.com/volunteer) - [Media Request](https://www.a3cfestival.com/media-passes) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.a3cfestival.com/privacy-policy) [Download the A3C Mobile App for ** and **](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/app)[**](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/) ## Are You Coming to the A3C Festival? ### Don't miss Atlanta's biggest Hip-Hop event of the year in downtown Atlanta on October 6-7.
