Grynch...

Back in IM guessing 2004 or maybe 05 I was at the vera project for Sonny Bonoho's "Madden Mic" show he put on I don't remember anything from that show at all besides seeing this dorky short lil white guy pacing backstage in a nervous manor...I wasnt even sure who he was or what he was there for...a little while later Sonny gets up on stage to introduce the next act...On stage appears that same kid... and IM HONESTLY thinking ohhhh jesus this dudes gonna suck!...but from the very first line I heard outta his mouth I was proven very wrong...with a voice that doesnt match his looks nor stature this guys was a beast on the mic already at that time. Fast forward to May 2010 Grynch and myself are really good friends have been on multiple road trips together and have built a bond also outside of music. IM a lucky guy to be able to see Grynch grow as an artist and a person over the years...From him trying to punk me in my own house (funny story)...too him writing and dropping a verse on Unexpected Arrival's "get your mind straight" in less then a 24 hour period (i didnt know this until recently but he road the bus from PLU in tacoma) just so he could make the session I would of came and picked you up Grynch lol) "put the mic down and pipe down" To releasing his first video ever for his song "my volvo" and it having over 100,000 hits in the first 11 days...I recall having a conversation with Grynch once I think it was as he was trying to decide if he should go back to college or not...I gave him the typical advice of of course you should go to school and get a degree incase this rap shit doesnt work then you'll have something to fall back on...Well as I sit here in 2010 I can say with all my confidence that he will not need that degree. Here is his video and a picture that remind me of the "old Grynch"
