About Me

Borne of the Gritty City that is Richmond, Ca, Griffin is more than meets the eye. Beyond the violence of his surroundings, his raps are an anomaly. Creative & constructive, filled with substance and thought. Griffin is Dark, The Devil’s Advocate if you will. With delivery and rhythm that’s intoxicating, you will listen and want to understand what he’s rapping about.Darkxide Asxylum, the production company for all current and future endeavors, is responsible for Griffin’s "Branded evoL" CD due early 2008, the Darkxide Asxylum II release summer 2008, the Richmond Snypers group album, and a Myspace "Mix Tape" that will span the globe. In addition to the music, Darkxide Asxylum is delivering Griffin’s experimental venture "Shades of Gray", a fusion of photography and poetry. Promotion for each project will continue through local and regionally specific advertisement where they’ve received warm welcomes and promising sales.

Griffin is the sole artist on Darkxide Asxylum. All Darkxide Asxylum beats are produced by Modok von Griffinstein. Griffin’s past projects include his 2006 release "Illness", "De’A’Bo’Leek" in ’05, "Dark Titans" and featured performances on "P.T. E.P." and "Koncrete Method" in the late 90’s, with plenty more to come.Despite the lack of mainstream allure, Griffin continues to record good music. Without doubt, the music is appreciated due to it’s "realness", and a brashness that’s so true it hurts. He continues to expand creative horizons and communicate with fans across the nation, and throughout the world, keeping Griffin and Darkxide Asxylum viable, growing, and evolving as a Rap/Publishing/Production/Multimedia entity. Evol is as is Evol does. We are merely tools in this Dark Faction. Now to spread our brand of Xickness we shall have a Delicacy for those who deem themselves Worthy.

We are sowing seeds for the future. Be part of the Militia. Thats the Darkxide Asxylum. Its not a gang its a nation. Griffinstein be the weapon. Come one come all share the Dark with us.

Sounds Like: Trouble, tormoil, topsy turvy. Darkxide music helps your brain burn dirty. Rap music shrouded and clouded in absolution. We make violence a science provide clients with evolution. Survival of the fiittest its lyrics and dark living. Wishing those that choose to listen would respect the mercy killings. Actions speaking louder than words. We tend the herds.
