Hello world! The No Time Outs Tour is officially on the road! We’re en route to Whiskey Dicks in South Lake Tahoe right now. We’ve got a dope show lined up with South Lake / Santa Cruz fam Cutty Sinclair. Roll out and experience the mayhem. While your at it, check out this free album from Cutty Sinclair as well! Raps by Cutty Sinclair, beats by Keem. Get Some!
The time has come… Rec-League, along with our cohorts Dulok Shaman and Lodeck will be embarking on the adventure of a lifetime spreading their musical joy and wonderment across the lands of the West Coast. What is this event you ask? Well it’s the No Time Outs Tour of course! The first show is tonight at the Red Devil Lounge in SF. The homies Grand Invincible are gonna help out with the SF festivities (SFestivities?) and tonight is a sure fire win. However, tomorrow morning you’ll be on your own again. Stay tuned here for updates from the tour and peep the dates over there————->
See you at the game.

Hey, friends. In a further effort to mimic well-known rapper/youth spokesman Haji P’s every maneuver, I’ve managed to wrangle my own website into my existence. Well, to be honest, Rob Rush the Rec-Technician did most of the dirty work. I just poured some Grip on it.
Be that as it may, GripGrand.com is here (and has been for a while). Hoof on over to my new headquarters and check it out, if you haven’t already. Which, admit it, you haven’t. You’ll find plenty to peruse: Grip Grand T-shirts, vinyl, CDs, downloads, free music, y mas.
GripGrand.com is also the home of my various blog-based word rambles, including the newly relaunched Grip’s Pull List (for you comic book fans); Creative Non-Fiction and Non-Creative Fiction (a column devoted to my non-rap writings); and many more of your future favorites. So roll on through and say “Hey” to your boy. I’ll be the guy in the glasses, the one posting stuff. You can’t miss me.
OK, people. The Grip Grand Army is recruiting. All you gotta do is show up. See you at GripGrand.com!
Stop, drop, shut ‘em down, open up shop,
Grip Grand
When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time in detention and being on punishment. Needless to say, the two kinda go hand in hand. Anyway, as with any disenfranchised member of society, my time spent in incarceration led me to discover a penchant for writing. I couldn’t remember how many stories I’ve written total, but some of the more famed titles include: The One Black Hunchback, My Name is Stupid, and Adams Apology to Jesus (a story told from Adams perspective, in letter form, explaining how Eve forced him to eat the apple, and as punishment, Jesus should make women bare children in the most painful way possible). However, no work more successful than a self-help book I wrote in the seventh grade called, The Things We Do: My Guide to Making Your Life Better. It was roughly 20 pages of hand written/hand drawn literary gold. I made copies and sold it for $1 to all my moms friends, all the faculty and staff at my school, my soccer coaches and anybody I thought had a dollar to spend. I was beyond certain that book would make it into book stores the world over. Well…it didn’t. But my freakin’ bummy anus rap album did! Neighborhood Kid, now available at Barnes & Nobles Bookstores!

As a remarkably talented rapper that makes remarkably talented raps that nobody cares about, its pretty dope when random people in other countries pilfer the music you worked so hard on to make wiggly-feet dance videos; to, in turn, promote their own endeavors by using your material as the vehicle to lead them towards their own agenda. I respect that. I respect even more the fact that the song in this video has never been released. Not only that, it’s not even finished…hell, the motherfreakin song aint even got a title yet! Somehow, she cold jacked this from a recording session that was uploaded on youtube.
This isn’t the first tho. This person, C’her (who I can only assume to be the famed star of the blockbuster smash Mermaids and maker of hits such as Believe), did a similar video to my highly acclaimed by everybody in the world single, Good Grief (hit the jump to see video). The innanet is crazy, son! My sister put me on to the videos of this person, who clearly only exists from the waist down. Actually, now that I think about it…she might be the nanny from the muppet babies. That’d be dope!
Thanks for reppin’ C’her. Walk on, soul sister, walk on!

Thank you to all the beautiful people who came out to the Hotel Utah for the epic Rec throwdown. It was without question one of the most hype crowds we have played for in SF. Big thank you also goes to Parable Paul, Pudge, Adverse and PBR for making the night one to remember (or try to at least).
Check out the album below
and click here to get your own! We have some of the grab bags left over so if you order now you can get the Koozie, Stickers and buttons as well. Get on it! Props to Irvin David Uy for the photos!
