**The Man That Named Hip-Hop: A Pioneer’s Journey from the Stage to Wynwood Miami**



The Original G-Man of Hip-Hop, The Man That Named Hip-Hop is recognized as one of the true pioneers of the genre, with contributions that have helped shape hip-hop into the cultural force it is today. Having worked closely with the legendary Sugar Hill Family, G-Man played an instrumental role in bringing hip-hop to life. His journey, from performing on stage to now taking a unique turn into the culinary world, is a story that deserves to be told—and the world is about to get that chance.




Born and raised in New York, the G-Man first captivated audiences as the hype man for Rob Base and the late DJ EZ Rock. Known for his high-energy performances, he quickly made a name for himself, eventually collaborating with B Funk of MoHouse Records under the alias MC Friction on their track "Keep it Real." As the industry evolved, so did G-Man, transitioning from center stage to working behind the scenes. He dedicated years to promoting and protecting the very artists he once performed with, ensuring that hip-hop’s legacy continued to thrive.


For over two decades, G-Man provided personal security for some of the most notable names in entertainment while working with Slack Enterprises. His client list included K-Ci and JoJo, the brothers of B5, legendary soul artist Darryl Payne, comedian and DJ Leon Rogers, and Tito Jackson of the Jackson Five. With military training under his belt, G-Man served as a bodyguard, driver, and personal security figure, all while championing the message of "reach, teach, and uplift communities" through hip-hop.


In a surprising twist, G-Man has now turned his talents toward a new venture—culinary arts. His latest project, "G-Man’s Healthy Eats Live Longer," is a cooking show that blends his love for food with a focus on healthy living. The show, which premiered on July 24th and airs on platforms like Zoom, Facebook, XOD, Instagram, and MizMacMarketing, features special guests and inspirational stories. Fans can tune in to see G-Man uplift communities in a new way, with a focus on wellness.



Although he’s moved into the culinary scene, G-Man hasn’t left music behind. His new single, "B Where U R," is available on all streaming platforms, giving fans a taste of his musical prowess. Beyond cooking and music, G-Man is also available for personal chef pop-up events, cooking classes, and TV appearances. Fans can follow his journey on Instagram @gman_4real and Facebook at "Original G-Man" to stay updated on his latest endeavors as a speaker and culinary expert.
