El Gant presents “Justify,” the gripping single taken from his forthcoming album Gantatello, produced entirely by Portuguese beatsmith Martello Sousa.
Copywrite opens with a blistering verse reflecting on a youth scarred by parents battling addiction, amplified by D1’s soulful, powerful hook.
El Gant follows with equal intensity, confronting the lure of substance abuse and its tragic fallout. “Justify” is available now on all platforms, with Gantatello due 14th October via Rule By Secrecy.

El Gant - Gantatello
As Hip-Hop progresses through time, many Boom bap veterans either recycle the same formula in hopes of achieving the success of their heroes, or perhaps change their music completely to keep up with the current trends. Others continue to evolve both personally and musically, whilst continuing to pay homage to those from the era that inspired them.
El Gant has continued to the latter...
With several songs under his belt produced by DJ Premier, and having appeared as a featured artist on seminal albums by The Beatnuts and Ras Kass, El Gant is no stranger to notoriety with a career that kicked off in the early 2000’s, and has been consistent right through to the present day. This is evident through his endless touring, output of releases, and worldwide radio coverage.
“Gantatello” is his fourth LP this time teaming up Portuguese producer Martello Sousa, together forging a unique exclusive style of production. In this project, Gant reflects on what it means to emerge from decades in the game, enduring both the highs and lows of life as an artist and as a person navigating a turbulent world. He explores themes of loss, resilience, and personal growth, honouring those he has lost along the way. Rather than giving up, this project stands as a testament to perseverance, learning from failure, and arriving on the other side with a deeper, more informed perspective.
El Gant also pulled in assistance from some of his peers for the project including the aforementioned Ras Kass, plus Copywrite, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Napoleon Da Legend and others. Instead of overly suffocating the project with features, he allowed his fellow artists to compliment the journey, whilst taking the lead on all fifteen tracks with his commanding delivery and signature rapid-fire cadences.
The album will be released via his imprint “Rule by Secrecy”, set to drop on 14th October 2025. This will coincide with a European tour, and limited edition vinyl.
