Grip Grand — Popular Demand Freestyle

November 17th, 2009 by Grip Grand

 

This video is for everyone who thinks Grip Grand is a disembodied voice in a box and not an actual person. To prove my existence, I filmed myself rapping. And to show you that this isn’t all computer-generated trickery, I did it from the least flattering angle possible. If I were some kind of cyberbot, I would have way fewer chins. So enjoy your behind-the-scenes glimpse into my rap life–this shit is more rare than a Bigfoot sighting.

Live and direct,

Grip Grand

Grip Grand 96 Tears (Showstopper Mix) Video Demo

September 21st, 2009 by Grip Grand

 

Sometimes, you can’t be sure an idea will work until you do a demo. Thus, the video you see before you. The jury’s still out on whether it’ll work or not. But clearly it would have to be redone, as the current version just won’t do. I couldn’t even remember the words to my own song! I guess we all make mistakes. So why am I passing this possibly-failed experiment on to you? Because that’s the price you pay for following my so-called career, sucker. Thought you’d be used to it by now…

The Crates of Wrath: Old Songs From My Collection

September 11th, 2009 by Grip Grand

Goin’ through some old CDs last night, I stumbled upon this little gem. The Desert Dwellas, straight outta Vegas, released The Killa Fish Prauject roughly a decade ago. I bought it on the strength of a review I read somewhere, back when people used to do things like buy CDs by artists they’d never heard of. I’m glad I did. (Songs after the jump)

GRIP GRAND — BEAUTIFUL GIRL

(right-click and “save as” to download) 

Beautiful Girl fell off the map sometime in the first half of the double-oh decade. It was the second Brokelore reject (after Broakland Now, see earlier post), so maybe I already played this for you in 2003. Like I care…

Grip Grand Presents…Old Music Someday: “This Is”

August 19th, 2009 by Grip Grand

Grip Grand — This Is

(To download, right-click and “save as”…)

This is…not much of a song. (Zing!) I recorded it a few years back, fast and dirty. Two unrelated verses, two beats, no hook, and a strange, wholly irrelevant intro…sounds like a hit! Named after the first two words of each verse, “This Is” was never intended to be more than a way to store these verses and beats in the vault for posterity. And yet here I am, showing it to people indiscriminately (wink wink). Whatever. I’m bored.

Enjoy,

Grip Grand Presents Old Music Someday — My Government’s a Terrorist

August 6th, 2009 by Grip Grand

Grip Grand – My Government’s a Terrorist

Here’s a deep cut from the vaults (as they say). This unusual piece, produced by DJ Flip & Freezemaster Slick, was done about two years ago, before my man Obama took office. But a lot of it is still true, don’t fool yourself. This type of political diatribe isn’t my regular lane, but at the time it was hard not to get heated about world affairs. Frankly, it still is. So add me to your list of rappers to invite to the rally, right after Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, and Paris. I’ll bring the chronic, you bring the kegs. Of gunpowder.

Fight the power,

Grip Grand

A little something different that I’m still working on…hence the title. Score and rhythmic American poetry by me.
