El jefe de la Piña A staple of the Central Florida hip hop scene and a stalwart on the Rolling Loud festival since inception, the man known as Gat$ has been steadily carving one of the most intriguing careers in the independent scene. From back in 2012 where he got his first proper start, he toured with acts such as @RobbBanks, @XXXTentacion, @Wifisfuneral, Ski Mask the Slump God, @DenzelCurry, and @DannyBrown, bringing his socially conscious blend of wit and ignorance as a counterbalance to the low and slow boom-trap sound hidden in Tampa. But after a bad run with sickle cell and chemotherapy, the multi-hyphenate disappeared for some time. Reemerging with a renewed sense of purpose and better health, the Big Piña came back with a vengeance, regaining traction in 2018 with the inception of his ROBBER projects, touching Rolling Loud stages in 2019, getting his first placement on SXSW in 2020 (prior to Covid), and headlined against @SmokeDZA in 2021.
