OT: GMU Alumni Rapper and Singer

For the final home game against Fordham, there was a brand new GMU fan and his entourage (few of his guy friends and their wives) sitting in front of us in the first 2 rows behind the bench for the game, his parents sat a couple seats down from me in my row. I noticed in the second half a kinda reggae/funky pop song came on during a timeout and all of them started singing along and started going crazy for the song and high fived their buddy in front of me. The ecstatic mom to my right mentioned that it was his son right there and was his song. Seems someone from Mason knew this singer would be in attendance and played his song which was awesome.

The crazy game went on and never got a chance to ask who he was or talk to him. Went home and just typed in GMU Alumni rapper and this is the guy who came up, apparently he is a huge GMU basketball fan. https://www.gmu.edu/news/2021-04/ra...musical-momentum-after-surprise-justin-bieber

Anees's story is incredible: Got his undergrad and Law degree from GMU. Didn't want to be a lawyer and delivered pizzas for a while for Domino's after graduating. Sat down and wrote songs and rapped in his car... uploaded them to TikTok/Instagram and then Justin Bieber talked with him live one night on Instagram, was the Billboard 100 #1 song in Phillipines in May of 2022, and recently was on Jimmy Kimmel Live....things are going well as he's exploded after just a few years of writing and performing his music - seems all his music has come in the past 3-4 years.

After searching on Youtube and Spotify... this guy is the real deal and seems to love Mason (you can recognize some GMU buildings/locations in his music videos). His voice and rapping/singing range & ability is amazing. His songs are for every age group and has an overall positive vibe and overall fun personality which is incredible.

Check out his songs.... type in Anees on Spotify and Youtube. Aneesofficial.com is his website.... he's touring this summer.



GMU Athletic department: Lets get this man a GMU Basketball jersey since he loves performing in NBA jerseys. And Doc Nix needs to get this guy involved and have him rap/sing with the Green Machine.

1. I think this is the song they played at the Mason game:

Not my style, but I'll give a thumbs-up. Having a star singer who is a big Mason fan can only be good for publicity. By all means get him a jersey to perform in.
Spike Lee anyone?

CKE gave him a shout-out at the post game presser. I didn't know what he was talking about but then, again, my familiarity with rap is nearly non-existent.

I like it - rhythm, harmony and I can understand the words - good voice. I can chill to this. Well done.
