JvZmlsZS5jb20v"AS A TEENAGER DURING THE EARLY 90's, GRIZ (G.T.M PRODUCTIONS) STARTED OFF AS A MIXTAPE DJ UNDER THE NAME J-STYLES. SURROUNDED BY TALENT IN HIS HOOD (183rd IN THE BX) SUCH AS DJ PREMIER, SLICK RICK, RED HANDED, AND MANY MORE, IT WAS INEVITABLE FOR GRIZ TO STEP HIS GAME UP AND TAKE THINGS TO A HIGHER LEVEL. HE BEGAN TO MAKE BEATS WITH SKI FROM ROK-A-BLOK PRODUCTIONS, AND THINGS JUMPED OFF FROM THERE. TOWARDS THE MID 90's, HE WENT ON TO FORM HIS OWN GROUP NAMED THE KEEPERS (LATER TO BE KNOWN AS FIREHOUSE) WHICH CONSISTED OF H.I.M SLIM (DUB GANG), ST.RAW (OF TEAM ARLISS), AND GRIZ (G.T.M PRODUCTIONS).THE GROUP BEGAN TO LOSE FOCUS ON THE MUSIC DUE TO THE UNTIMELY DEATH OF THE BIG HOMIE PUPPET (AKA KARNAGE) IN THE SUMMER OF 2000. THIS PUT A HAULT ON THINGS, AND A WHOLE DIFFERENT KIND OF MOVEMENT BEGAN.... THE A.N. DUB SET!!WHILE H.I.M SLIM AND GRIZ CONTINUED TO GRIND ON THE STREETS, ALONG WITH KIID THE GENERAL, ST.RAW CONTINUED TO WORK WITH SUPA MARIO AND BUILT THE FOUNDATION: TEAM ARLISS. CONSISTING OF ST.RAW AND TRAV, TEAM ARLISS WENT ON TO FLOOD THE MIXTAPE SCENE WITH HEAT. AS TIME WENT ON, THINGS STARTED TO FALL INTO PLACE AND EVERYONE GOT BACK ON THEIR A-GAME; FORMING THE ARLISS NETWORK OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A.N.W.SINCE GRIZ IS AN INDEPENDANT PRODUCER, HE HAS DONE WORK WITH SEVERAL ARTISTS INSIDE AND OUT OF THE NETWORK. MANY OF WHICH WENT ON TO DO THEIR OWN PROJECTS. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE HE BECOMES A PROBLEM TO THE INDUSTRY!!/style
