GemStones AKA Gemini AKA Demarco Castle, formally of FNF Records, finally blesses the Chicago hip-hop community by gracing the stage at one of Ch-Town newest and most talked about events, “Writers Wednesday.” Demarco, still has it! He both sung and rapped both new material and the classics from “Untamed Beast” and “The Testimony.” A Grand tribute to his very good friend St.Nick who passed away right before Demarco took a leave of absence from FNF and Hip-Hop and also to Chilly another dear friend. All in all it was great to catch up with Demarco and see him back on stage.

easily one of my favorite artists.
deep song, i always liked him more than lupe to be honest..
and that fitted is tough i wonder where he got it from
My dude is back!
This dude is real dope.
He always spits realness, but I swear with all 10 fingers and 10 toes, he has to have some of the worst performance skills I’ve witnessed. There’s a difference between stage presence/energy and yellin’ and making a lemon face! SIMMER DOWN, cuzzo
PS: Yellin’ is the hype man’s job.
Is this track available recorded??
LOL @ SirThulsaBOOM you right about that…he could had better stage presence lol. I felt his anguish tho.

Is this track available recorded?

Fahrenheit 1st and 15th Vol. VI: The Testimony of GemStones
classic mixtape better than most albums
when is Chilly gettin out?
Oh shoot, I hope he releases a mixtape soon. I’d go nuts.
@sirthulsaboom His helling is his style. It shows he’s getting into the song, and gets the crowd into the song with him. He gives his emotion hes feeling to the audience pretty well imo. Who gives a shit what his face is doing on stage. If I go to see dude in concert, it’s for his music, not for how pretty his face looks when he raps.
GemStones is (2)dope. i remember he had a small set during a Lupe show a couple years ago in philly. he had a song about the journey of a dollar bill. sick shit.
glad he’s coming back.
if gem puts out an album this year well…see you at the grammys
shit is ill

Gemstones “Free Chilly”
“First off, I’d like to take a moment before I get in your head
And apologize to every fan I ever misled
There’s a lot of things I rapped about, you shouldn’t have been fed
I’ve led people to destruction from the things I done said
I’ve glorified bustin women down, selling drugs, licking rounds
Anything negative you can think of to keep us down
Because when it’s positive people don’t wanna hear it
I wanted to speak the truth but I was afraid you wouldn’t feel it
I overcame and I’m not ashamed of it,
Untamed Beast was cool but I wasn’t talking about nothing
Lying in my lyrics to be accepted by the critics,
all the hot punchlines about crack I didn’t distribute
God blessed me with a talent to paint a picture so vivid
And I turned around and wrote “Bust Down”- Ignorance is bliss
How can I be so oblivious, but they say the first step to recover is to admit
They gave my homie 44 years, Chill, you’re truly missed
Trapped your body not your mind, your dreams will take you where you wish
Home is in your head, sanity’s who you should move in with
When you’re locked behind bars and your physical don’t exist
Even though you’re locked down it’s still FNF up
Troubles Of The World is finished, can’t wait till it’s pressed up
I can’t explain the feeling standing on stages in each city,
and them curtains roll back and they screaming out ‘Free Chilly’”
