Franklin Grimes - glass is 1/2 empty-type cat combing the city streets of the angels for diamonds in the rough.
Grimes leaves his smudge marks on every track he blesses. Characterized by gritty views expressed through syllabic flows, Grimes spits teeth that bite at the ear drums of unsuspecting listeners.
Since his debut on the single, "Tangwich" off MUDluscious's "Songs From The CandyLandFill", Grimes has collaborated with some of Cali's brightest and most passionate hip hop apostles. Less than a year in the game, the one they call "Grimey" has made his stage presence felt, amping crowds alongside MUDluscious and Noah King.
Keep an ear to the net and eye on your lady, Franklin to the "G" Rimes is aiming to dirty up the pretty in pink minded rap world. Hip Hop has a new red headed step child and he's not trying to fit in...Grimes is planted in the b-boy stance flipping the middle at the number ones. Freedom. Love. Struggle. Hip Hop.
