Biography
Life and music career
He was born in
Detroit, Michigan and grew on on the Eastside off Van Dyke and Harper Ave. Gordy grew up with two crack addicts for parents and had to fend for himself mostly. King Gordy is known for his hair that is braided to look like two horns on his head and his energy on stage. Always beside him during his ups and downs was his lifelong friend Bizarre (of D12) and his favorite white boy Olaf.
King Gordy began rapping at clubs around Detroit and was soon signed to
Web Entertainment (Former label of rapper Eminem). He released his debut album "The Entity" featuring guest appearances from Bizarre and
Obie Trice and production from
Eminem. The album was critically acclaimed by local journalists but Gordy spent a lot of his money paying back child support to his seven children's various mothers. To bring himself out of the hole Gordy decided he would release mixtapes to raise money, the first of which was "King of Horrorcore Vol.1" which received rave reviews from fans and critics alike, mostly because of its incredibly dark lyricism, unpolished sound his claims of being the king of horrorcore are well founded as it is unlikely the world has ever heard a true m.c. take such a dark journey. In 2005 he teamed up with fellow Detroit rappers the Fatt Father, Shimmy Bango and Marv Wonderful to release the Fat Killahz debut album "Guess Who's Comin To Dinner?". The next in the line of mixtapes to come was "Van Dyke and Harper Music" which is still regarded as the best mixed underground album of 2006. At the Gathering Of The Juggalos 2006 Gordy released "Cobain's Diary" to positive reviews. In 2008 he released his current title "The Great American Weed Smoker". He then released "King of Horrorcore II" at the Gathering Of The Juggalos 2009 and next up is the Debut album from his new group with long time friend and collaborator Bizarre of D-12.
