Dennel and Nero Gima.
Nelson Gonzalez,better known as Nero Gima, is a 19 year old producer/rapper from the Bronx, NY. Along with friend and collaborator Dennel, he is one half of the duo The Lost Souls. He is also a member of the hip hop collective NuZulu. As a full time student at Stony Brook University, he balances his academics and music to achieve his dream of being a critically acclaimed hip hop artist. Growing up Nero Gima was exposed to a great number of musical genres, ranging from jazz, soul, funk, merenge, bachata, metal, post-rock, hip hop and reggaeton. His love for music during his formative years led him to experiment with music production at age 12, when his cousin told him about FL Studio, a digital audio workstation. For the next couple of years Nero Gima has worked constantly to develop his production by trying many different genres of music, mainly electronic dance music and reggaeton. As the years went by he decided to start making hip hop, as that has always been his favorite genre of music. Drawing inspiration from producers Pete Rock, Kanye West, J Dilla, Madlib, The Alchemist, RZA, Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus and Samiyam, he has developed a distinct sound that is reminiscent of the aforementioned producers while blending in his own qualities. He also draws influence from artists of other genres, such as Big Brother & The Holding Company,The Talking Heads, The Smiths,The Doors, Radiohead, Massive Attack, and Portishead. With his very eclectic taste in music, Nero Gima takes elements of classic rock, new wave rock, trip hop, hip hop, and electronic music and incorporates them into his production, which gives him a very progressive sound. In August 2011, Nero Gima released the Curse of Nero, a 19 track instrumental hip hop mixtape that is reminiscent of the golden era of hip hop. Currently Nero Gima is working on The Magnificent, the solo debut of the Warrior Monks' Sulaymon. He is also handling the majority of the production on the NuZulu projects and on all Lost Soul projects.
Dennel Cabral, who goes by Dennel for his stage name, is a 19 year old rapper from the Bronx and Harlem, NY. His and Nero Gima's passion for hip hop led to the duo forming the Lost Souls in early 2011. Dennel coined the name of NuZulu when the collective was formed with the Warrior Monks and Hivemind during the summer of 2011. Balancing his academics at CCNY with his artistic development, he strives to become a renown hip hop artist. Growing up Dennel was drawn to golden age hip hop in particular, hiding his love for the genre from his parents by also listening to the merengue, bachata, salsa, reggae, and reggaeton of their Caribbean heritage. He later expanded his musical horizons to include jazz, electronic, and soul. In his early teenage years, Dennel delved and specialized into hip hop almost exclusively. He studiously listened to his favorite artists and their various takes on essential rapping elements. Influenced by; Nas, GZA, Big L, Biggie Smalls, Jeru the Damaja, AZ, A Tribe Called Quest, C.L. Smooth, Redman, Method Man, Eminem, 50 Cent, DMX, Masta Ace, Rakim, Mobb Deep, Tupac, Outkast, Bronx artists KRS-One, Big Pun, Kool Keith; and later artists MF DOOM, Little Brother, Lupe Fiasco, Curren$y, and countless others, Dennel rhymes with a fusion of golden age lyrical prowess and modern day flow. With guest appearances on the upcoming Warrior Monks' Sulaymon's solo debut album The Magnificent, listeners are sure to hear a glimpse of a new artist they will enjoy. Along with a NuZulu self titled collective mixtape and the Lost Soul mixtape Sour Dreams in the works, listeners will soon learn about this Bronx native's unique perspective on his birth place's genre.

The Real Thing
Lost Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Need the injection give me the drug I want more
Wanna be machine with hunger for destruction
Remind you of hell remind you of distraction
I am the real thing
Gonna give you the real thing
I am the real thing
I am what you gonna breathe
I am what you gonna feel
Now I got me a new toy
Gonna turn you into me
Wanna be a machine with a distorted smile
Control of humanity make them walk single file
Cannot sympathize with the stupid minded one
Cannot sympathize cannot sympathize
Wanna be a machine with an appetite to quell
I am distorted I am deranged feed me with hell
Find comfort in the new hell
Suck on the real thing
With a distorted soul I encircle it all
The dominating machine gonna make you fall
The lyrics to "The Real Thing" by Lost Souls describe a desire to become a machine with a hunger for destruction and an appetite for war. The singer yearns for the injection of a drug that will enhance their destructive tendencies, and they view humanity as something to control and dominate. They want to be reminded of hell and to bring that destruction to others. The chorus repeats that the singer is the "real thing" and they will give that realness to others, turning them into a distorted, deranged machine like themselves. They find comfort in this new hell and the power it gives them. The final lines describe the singer as a dominating machine that will make others fall.
