Grimsley

The truth, the culture, and the family are the foundation of Grimsley’s artistic identity. Perceptive and attentively observant of the outside world in equal measure, the rapper born in Riverside, California, spent his childhood honing the confident, life-story driven lyrics that have become synonymous with his singular style of rap. Grimsley’s recent album, “The Flood”, proves that his raw talent and diligence echo the definition of what this culture is about, lyrical execution. The extensive musical production through his 12 years of artistry is held together by the rapper’s innate talent for integrating genres into new, hybrid sonic landscape. In short, his memories create the setting and surroundings of his own life story with clarity and translate its impact through his music, reality and true emotion. We are seeing Grimsley for what he is—a young man growing, progressing and learning in an ever-changing world that can be capricious and cruel, but also beautiful.
