Influences: Gridlock, born July 16, 1982 in Savanna, GA is the oldest of six children. Raised by a single mother in the “hoods†of Miami, FL. A fan of such acts as N.W.A and The Ghetto Boys Gridlock started rapping at the age of nine. By the age of twelve Gridlock had already started making a name for himself both at school and in the housing projects he called home. Due to financial reasons Gridlock’s family was forced to move around a lot in his early teen years. Gridlock believes this helped him “spread his hustle†to different hoods. By age 16 he had established himself in both the streets and the rap game of Dade County. He started a group called Soul Snatchers and eventually hooked up with other artists in Miami to form Low Life, a collective of rappers from the different hoods of Miami. By the time he was 21 he was signed to growing Miami based rap label Quick Hit Records. His ties with Quick Hit lead to him releasing 2 albums. The first was a label compilation, and the second was with The Quick Hit Boyz. The Quick Hit Boyz project gave Gridlock his first hit song and taste of success. Gridlock is confident and excited to build upon that success with his first solo release Straight Off Da’ One Way. Having honed his craft with Quick Hit and shared the bill with other top notch artists like Ying Yang Twins, Field Mob, and Trick Daddy, Gridlock is seasoned and ready to give the fans what they want, him. This 6’5†300lbs “Dade County General†is bringing you the gritty, grimy, straight off da’ one way flavor you’d expect from him, along with some things you might not! He has paid his dues and now his bringing it to you!! The only question is are you ready?
