Local Lore : G-Note Hog Head Ent

Today on RoxxxTV.com we have the Local Lore section bringing to you the very freshest and most ripe local artists that are making their way or have paved the way for locals to come. Today’s feature is on the man of the streets and OG in the neighborhood G-Note.

G-Note is the founder, owner and leading artist for Hog Head Ent., he has done a lot of major things on his own while leading up to the entertainment company he has started today. G-Note or GDash for short has been nominated for and achieved several awards around the Detroit, Michigan area while being recognized by major labels such as Def Jam for songs such as “Bag life” with Bnell. He has anchored his music with a global distribution deal thru Sony Music’s The Orchard as well as making his music available on all major music platforms.

G-Note is currently expanding his Hog Head Ent. company with new artists as well as new music from himself, as a man of many talents and a background dipped in acting we could almost expect a form of film entertainment of sorts outside of music. Drawing his inspiration from the struggle and living in Motown his hustle attitude mixed with talent and enduring soul we will definitely not be able to get rid of G-Note any time soon.
