Michael Washington-El (born July 21, 1983), better known by his stage names "G. Twilight", "Twilliam Shakespeare" and "Alshafaq El-Bey", is a American rapper, music producer, and voice actor. He is known for telling raw, authenticity and direct lyrical narratives rooted in his experiences growing up in an American inner-city. His music often explores themes of religious delusion, mental health issues, economic disenfranchisement, the '94 Crime Bill, the school-to-prison pipeline and urban decay. He also known for his blunt, gritty, and often nihilistic descriptions of his once ongoing day-in-the-life street crime, ambition, conflicts and frequent mocking of former real-life rivals. He often concocts music that is an odd blend of "Emo Rap", "Conscious Rap", "Trap Music" and "Pimp-Hop", but makes it all work artistically in harmony. His ability to deliver punchy and impactful message through his honest and reflective storytelling led to his music being featured on the 2010 "Demetrius Holloway: Last Man Standing" DVD, a Detroit crime documentary, his first film credit.
