G. Dep

Trevell Gerald Coleman rapped as G. Dep, short for Ghetto Dependent, and gave Bad Boy the Harlem bounce of "Special Delivery" and Child of the Ghetto (2001).

Trevell Coleman, G. Dep, “Ghetto Dependent,” was Harlem in HD. He could make a record fun without pretending the world was sweet, a rare balance of bounce and truth.

Bad Boy brought him in during a golden stretch, and he delivered moments people still quote: “Special Delivery”, club chaos, Uptown flavor. Child of the Ghetto (2001) was his official introduction, full of stories and style.

Later chapters of his life are documented elsewhere, and they are heavy, human and complicated. The music he made in the Bad Boy era still matters because it’s part of how Harlem sounded when the world was watching.
