MR. GRAND

It's been a long time coming! The streets were one thing. Getting his respects in this industry was another. He hit the streets of Atlanta hard distributing 8,000 mixtapes of “Hood Certified Vol 1&2”, but that still was not enough for Mr. Grand. Although the streets loved it and his hype grew large enough that he was able to score a meeting at Def Jam South, he would hit another road block. The label executives thought it would make a great record, but decided against it. Change the game plan!

Fast-forward to today, Mr. Grand's catalog now boasts hundreds of completed tracks and he's enlisted the magic touch of some heavy hitter producers. His most recent project is collaboration with DJ Smallz, of the infamous Southern Smoke mixtape series, on his finest project ever, "The Grand Opening." The first single, "Show U What It Do," has garnered major support from DJ's worldwide and has already received a great amount of radio play. The single is a cross-over hit with commercial success appealing to hip hop lovers all over. Two other singles, "Let It Rain" and "Long Time" remains a favorite among DJ's due to his gritty rhyme flow and his ability to capture the true essence of story telling. "Long Time" takes on a personal tone using the Sam Cooke remake, "Change Gonna Come," to express his life journey. The mixtape also features a host of other tracks that proves his ability to deliver many different flows and sounds.

Mr. Grand's follow up project, "The Greenlight," hits retailers and streets nationwide Summer 2007 and will be supported with an aggressive marketing campaign consisting of in-stores, performances around the Southeast, and radio publicity. It's no doubt that this stamp of approval from DJ Smallz will finally afford Mr. Grand the much-deserved love that he's due.
