Last week, the Dallas scene was host to a series of events celebrating local hip hop, both local and otherwise, during #DallasWeek. Among the many performers over the week was Dallas native Post Malone, whose song “White Iverson” put him on the map. The show was a landmark event for local artists including Sigh, Devy Stonez, and G.U.N., who had the crowd turnt.

G.U.N. performed his single “Johnny Cage,” and the crowd was LIT.

Up-and-coming Dallas rapper G.U.N stopped by DX headquarters on Friday (December 12) to break down the city's emerging Hip Hop scene with HipHopDX Editor-In-Chief Justin Hunte. The "Johnny Cage" rapper, G.U.N details how Joey Fatts helped the emerging Dallas Hip Hop scene.

"Crit Life came in building the rage scene with me," G.U.N says in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX published Saturday (December 13). "Devy Stonez came in building the rage scene. Pyrex Pirates came in building the rage scene and then people's eyes was like 'Oh, it's turnt.' That's when A$AP Ant came out there and did a show and then Joey Fatts came out there and did a show. Joey Fatts really kind of initiated the wave slowly coming in for Dallas because he just started tweeting about it."

G.U.N also credits the fusion between hipsters and people from the streets as a reason why Dallas has been able to gain major traction this year with the prominence of Blue, The Misfit, Post Malone, Justus, Bobby Sessions and The Outfit, TX, among other notable Dallas artists.

"It's too many stars in Dallas," the Geeked Up Music artist says. "It's too many creators. It's too many people really out there doing it. It's too many people that really, really want it and is hungry for it. Justus is in LA right now and there's other people that's coming up as well under the people that's starting to get that spotlight, shine for Dallas. To know that everybody that's doing it for Dallas is in their mind doing it for Dallas makes it even sweeter."

In 2016, the "Undi Lay" rapper says that fans can expect more visuals from him, along with features from Rae Sremmurd, Key!, Young Gleesh and A$AP Ant, among others. - Hip Hop Dx

G.U.N. is Dallas’ trap star rapper and he plays the role to a T. On the high-energy "Johnny Cage," the rapper lives up to his Geeked Up Ni**a moniker, taking the cooking trend one step further with a breathy, catchy and aggressive hook that propelled the song to semi-viral status among Dallas’ youth and beyond. His cool, confident demeanor can be heard on all facets of the track from the hook to his flow and his calculated ad-libs. It’s an addicting track that garners as much attention as any rap song in heavy rotation on the radio - Dallas Observer

The North Texas music scene has really come into its own the past 12 months. There hasn't been a year in recent memory when so many local artists appeared on the Billboard charts, played Saturday Night Live and other late night television programs, or otherwise appeared in the national spotlight. Here, as we've done in years past, we're highlighting what we think are the 100 best songs locally-tied of the year. The thing is, as far as this list is concerned, we're judging the quality of the songs irrespective of the popularity of the people putting them out -- meaning, you're just as likely to have a song by a Grammy-winning act sandwiched between a couple of high school bands. Hey, it's just more interesting that way. Also keeping with tradition, we'll be rolling out the list in smaller, more digestible portions every weekday through the end of the month, complete with embedded streams of each. We think that gives each of these more than deserving acts a little more shine, and it also gives you a little more time to really check out each of these high quality tunes -- including, presumably, a few that you may have missed upon their initial release.

Over the summer, when upstart Dallas rapper G.U.N. dropped his "Johnny Cage" banger, our initial reaction at the time was to call it "among the hypest rap tracks we've heard out of the region all year." In the following months, our love for the track only continued to grow -- something that can be directly attributed to the song's big, dumb, shout-along hook. - Central Track
