BANG! @southernvangard @hevnamedmegrap #GrapLuva #interview #session. Yeah, you read it right. TWO HOURS of that #WORK #DAMMIT - Grap was fresh off his appearance at SXSW with the #DCLovesDilla #band on Tuesday, and gave us some incredible stories. From early days of growing up in a music collecting household, to his skills as a b-boy/dancer, getting the production bug and eventual master classes from big brother #PeteRock, and touring with #HeavyD and his appearance on #ArsenioHall - the foundation is incredible. We get into the #MeccaAndTheSoulBrother days, the story of how the now infamous freestyle for “On and On” came to be, forming #InI with #RobO and company, how a Pete Rock beat made for InI turned into the #PublicEnemy “Shut ‘Em Down” Remix, and a few choice words for #SylviaRhone around the shelving of “Center of Attention”. Grap also discusses his eventual move to the #DMV, connecting with folks like #Oddissee #KevBrown #Damu #yU #Damu to name a few, our call to action to get Grap’s studio back up and running, as well as what’s on the horizon in 2015 and beyond. Can you say #InI #CenterOfAttention #tour ? You heard it here first, folks! Buckle up and listen up! #hiphop #rap #podcast #mixshow #ATL #WORDLWIDE
