Biography
Grieves is an indie/alternative hip hop artist that has been very busy. Two records, three solid years of touring (with over 300 dates in the past two years alone), two stints on the CMJ hip hop charts, multiple festival dates and three music videos.
Grieves has a new blend of hip hop with an engaging live show that keeps fans asking for more. Well thought out and original lyrics coupled with organic beats built from the ground up (without samples as of 88 Keys and Counting) by Grieves and Budo together create the unique sound that is becoming more and more well known as the hip hop scene discovers why Grieves has been standing out.
There's a mixture here of singing and rapping, sad music with high energy, and a depressing tone with an upbeat delivery. It works in a unique way and is a one of a kind sound.
