What is your name and where are you from?
My name is David Henderson rap name Gabos Ko. I was born in Miami, Florida and I grew up in the Pork & Bean Projects In Then Move Too Washington Park, North Miami Beach.
Tell us about you:
When I started rapping I told myself I wanted to be authentic ; being true to myself but still open to criticism and advice on different ways to get better and perfecting my craft. I’ve faced many obstacles in life and experiences things that would have made the average man throw in the towel long ago and pushed him to his breaking point which led to my nickname “Bronko” which means unbroken describing myself. My rap name is Gabos Ko and Gabos stands for “Game ain’t based on sympathy” to better explain that’s its survival of the fittest out here and anyone else in my shoes wouldn’t feel any sympathy for a man working and struggling to go get it so why should I want anyone to sympathize with me? I’m a grinder who works for what he wants and the life I want to live and I’d rather god stalk and attack what’s mine instead of hoping and waiting for it to fall in my hands. I feel like that’s what sets me apart from other artists and other people looking for handouts, everything that I do or say in my music is a reflection of me and anyone that listens can hear the grind, the authenticity, it shows everything I’ve been through and plan to go through. Ever since I was young I always thought about ways to come up and escape the world I was brought into. This only gave me the hunger that gave birth to the hustler and go getter I developed into today. I’m the type of person who is going to find a way to get it by any means necessary. I want to live a comfortable life no having to worry about the things I had to worry about in the past and I will make sure that the lives of my four kids look completely different than the life I had when I was coming up. We all know that the environment you come up in affects your decisions as it molds you and one can only build with the tools they are given until they can make or get new ones to help get them out. My kids will not have to worry about getting out of a harsh environment and will have the tools they need to live a life better than the one I lived in the past and even better than the one I will live in the future…
