About Me

Grip Grand. That's me. Maybe you saw me in URB's Next 100 a while back (2005)...well, not "saw" me, because my picture didn't make the cut. But I'm in there. Check the small print. I make rap music. Both parts...the rap, and the music. I like all kinds, I make all kinds. To that end, I've put out a few projects over the years. A limited-edition self-pressed 12" (Pro-Gress/Santa Ana Winds) was followed by a CD (Welcome to Broakland) on Bomb Hip Hop Records, home of the illustrious Return of the DJ series. The overnight, worldwide success that followed these early releases (recorded almost entirely on a four-track cassette machine) has made me a multibillionaire many times over. Nonetheless, when I was approached by highly respected producer DJ Design (of Foreign Legion fame) to do a follow-up on Look Records, I could hardly refuse. That collaboration led to the release of another 12" (Poppin' Pockets/Love-Drama), co-produced by Design and myself and featuring hip-hop legend A.G. of DITC. Needless to say, the song went quadruple-diamond, and literally every person on the planet owns a copy...your mom, starving babies in the desert, the Pope. Everybody. Naturally, we went right to work on a full-length album, and we haven't been heard from since. Until now. The album is here. New songs. New styles. Triple-gatefold rainbow-marble vinyl with laser-etched braille labels and inner sleeves made from real Monarch butterfly wings. Special-edition packaging that comes wrapped in a purple sheepskin seat cover with my face embossed on the headrest. It's so major. I can't wait to share it with you all.
