That thing about sitting in a bath wearing a pair of Levi’s to shrink them down to a skin-tight fit, that must’ve taken DAYS." Fraser McAlpine of BBC America

Get the gabbing mug.Gab The Gift
noun / song title
1. A hard‑hitting hip‑hop anthem that celebrates owning your voice, speaking your truth, and turning words into power. The track by ShawnDon Damarko channels ambition, hustle, and lyrical swagger—using “gab” (your talk) as the “gift” (your tool).
2. A metaphor for the moment when someone flips their struggles into story, their silence into sound — when their voice becomes their weapon, their uplift, their brand.
Example: “When he stepped up to the mic and flipped his life in bars, that was straight‑up ‘Gab The Gift’ energy.”
Usage notes:
• The title riffs on the old idiom “the gift of the gab”, meaning natural talent for talking and persuading.
