“First of all, let me get one thing straight/I ain’t a gangsta or a killa – I don’t be movin’ no weight/A lot of dudes is so fake, spittin’ triflin’ rhymes/I spit my life in my rhymes instead of rifles and nines.” From the opening verse of Grynch’s debut LP, This Is What I Do, one thing is clear: he’s not afraid to be himself.Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, 23-year-old MC Grynch first discovered Hip-Hop in elementary school when a classmate let him borrow a cassette tape of Dr. Dre’s classic, The Chronic. From that point on, it was a wrap as he became completely immersed in Hip-Hop music and culture, listening to and studying everything from Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystyle to Mobb Deep’s The Infamous. It wouldn’t be long before Grynch would try his hand at writing rhymes himself at the age of 10.
