Under The Bay Episode 37: Nump
The Gorillapino Pope, Alameda native Nump really needs no introduction. You might've heard of Nump from his first major single, I Got Grapes. Or maybe you've seen him on the billboards for San Jose label 454 Entertainment's new compilation album, As Real As It Gets. Or maybe you heard his latest solo album, Student Ov Da Game, released on E-40's label 30/30 Sick Wid It Records. Or maybe you saw him on tour with DJ Shadow or the Black Eyed Peas. Wherever you've seen him, Nump has been a straight A student of the music game and now the hard work is starting to pay off. Em Dub got a chance to catch up with Nump over at Home Base clothing in Pinole and talked about all kinds of stuff, including how he got the name Nump, how he got in to rap, his process for making a song, the story behind 454 and As Real As It Gets, and the story behind his latest solo album, Student Ov Da Game.
