Grynch Raps About Much More than Rapping On His Jester-Produced Timeless EP
Almost a year ago to the day, Grynch dropped his Rapping About Rapping Mixtape--and as great as the 20-track project was ("Biological Didn't Bother 2010" still gets plays through these headphones), and as much as his strength lies in his distinct style unswayed by fad sounds, "The King of Bal ...

Art by dj100proof.To flat-out call your music "Timeless" is a gutsy move, and one that necessitates a certain amount of backing-up.
