“More hood than Hipster…” ~Rodney Carmichael, Creative Loafing

There’s one thing to know before attempting to understand Grip Plyaz and his music: YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND GRIP!

Just like with most artists, everything Grip does he believes to be perfection—and it is. Grip as an artist takes being yourself to a whole new level. When in the studio, not only is it just Grip himself, but he doesn’t give a f*ck about anyone or anything else. He’s a purely untainted artist, one who doesn’t care what’s popular or the norm. When making new music, it’s him + the beat + the hook and then the lyrics are born.

Grip Plyaz was born and raised in 4th Ward Atlanta, which is home to a few other big names in the industry (Young Jeezy, Slick Pulla, etc), but Grip is definitely a rarity out the hood. Being born and raised in the south’s melting pot, Grip appreciates music from everywhere; snap music, Miami bass, 808, 90s rap, Too Live Crew, Outkast, Anita Baker, Al Green, Akinele, Too Short, 8Ball & MJG, Goodie Mob, Gucci Mane, Pastor Troy, DSGB and many more.
