Deuce Gambles

If you are  expecting to hear the same old tune  or beat that seems to be taking over and is being used by a lot of Nigerian artists, well you are in for a shocker! Deuce Gambles comes with a totally different style! My favorite track is “Cops come knockin”.  “We getting loud till the cops come knocking………………………….”

Listen to “Cops Come Knockin”

Born Fola Devontay Adeleye in Newark, New Jersey, Deuce Gambles is an artist of Nigerian descent who is also the co-founder of the hip-hop group Full Deck.  Although he is primarily a rapper, he also dabbles in some R & B singing.

Deuce Gambles who was born  in an underprivileged and crime filled Newark is a product of his environment whose harsh tough demeanor is reflected in his music.

Deuce Gambles who lists his musical influences as artists such as Cam’ron, Fabulous, Jadakiss and Jay-z reported that his passion for music was developed during his teenage years; he started in his basement with childhood friends while just goofing around, and he fell in love with music since then.  He founded the group “Full Deck” with his childhood friends but had to quit the group due to some creative differences.  Although Deuce is no longer a member of the group, he is still heavily associated with them and still collaborates with the group’s members.

Words such as “rude, disrespectful, nonchalant, and conceited” are frequently associated with this New Jersey native. Although characteristics such as these would usually cause a person to acquire a great amount of enemies, such traits have actually propelled Deuce Gambles to more stardom. Known for his unique rhyme scheme and clever punchlines, listeners continue to ponder on what he will say next.

Gambles tries not to focus his music on the hardship that he encountered while growing up in New Jersey. Instead, most of Gambles’ songs are about his everyday life and diverse topics. The sarcastic and cocky style that Deuce Gambles possesses is clearly unique. It is just a matter of time before Deuce Gambles becomes a household name. But until then, he will still be loved by many, and hated by many more, which is the way he likes it.  He lists his audience as any and everybody who can listen to his music. His main motivation is to prove people wrong, especially all of the people who doubt him. i am very conceited, confident, sarcastic, and enjoys being the life of the party.

His first mixtape entitled “Intelligent Menace” is currently in the works and on the verge of being finished with a tentative December 2009 release date. He decided to pick that title because he believes it is a great reflection of him, he is an intelligent, well educated person who can also be a menace.  He also added that although he is well educated, he grew up with the street mentality and can survive in both the corporate and “ghetto” areas.

There are numerous collaborations on the upcoming “Intelligent Menace” album such as songs featuring artists like Baby Spadez, Julz Diamondz, Sin City, Se7en, Rouga, Crazy 8, Fabolous, and Drake.

When asked what fans of his music can expect on this upcoming album, he replied saying “fans can expect good music, alot of slick and witty lines, good beats, good lyrics, and a cocky attitude“.

Although he already has numerous collaborations Deuce Gambles revealed that he is willing to work with any artists that feel like they could keep up with him.
