Jersey’s Own Inf Grizzy Keeps It Real In “Take My Time” Video & Interview

Jersey Shore indie rapper Inf Grizzy announces the release of his new single/video “Take My Time.” Minutes of unfiltered lyricism transcend audiences to a time in Grizzy’s life that was run by streets, jail, fake friends and fake love. An empowered hook offers hope while the visuals show Grizzy rising from his past. Tap into the interview below for more on the video and to grasp Grizzy’s journey on and off the mic.

MJ: For those that might be unfamiliar, introduce yourself to the world of music and Hip Hop.

Inf Grizzy: I go by the name of “Inf Grizzy from ” Jersey Shore and I’m an American Hip Hop Artist born in Lakewood, NJ, but fully raised in South Toms River, NJ.

MJ: You represent Toms River, a town on the Jersey Shore and in the middle of Philly and NY but also a town with a limited Hip Hop presence and scene. Has that created any challenges for you, or does it motivate you more?

Inf Grizzy: It was a big challenge, I had to figure out my formula to get people to know who I am and for them to rock with me. What motivated me was back in the day freestyling at the movie theaters in front of a crowd of people. That made me who I am today stronger, wiser, and presentable.

MJ: Talk a little about your journey to becoming a recording artist.

Inf Grizzy: To be honest, it was a long ride. Throughout the years I was doing music with a lot of artists that let their egos get the best of them, and thinking they were better than everybody. I had to push myself away from that. Till this day I never gave up, I kept pushing no matter what. The other artists failed because they didn’t continue their grind and just fizzled out. For me, I can’t see myself doing that, so I grind everyday even when I’m tired…I still made things happen. I thank the man upstairs for giving me another chance at this.

MJ: Before we jump into your two hit singles, I want to take a moment to acknowledge that as an artist you move and live life true to the culture. That is rare these days when we talk about the evolution and artists who see rap as Hip Hop, forgetting that rap is only one element of Hip Hop. Take this time to share about giving back to communities and your philanthropic efforts.

Inf Grizzy: As far as me being an Artist, I been doing this for a long time. My mission besides being an artist is helping people get on their feet and guide them through life. I was the one out on the streets helping the homeless everyday nonstop. My plan was to talk to the community board and see how we can help the ones that can’t help themselves, even kids that are hanging with the wrong people getting into trouble.

MJ: After listening to your latest singles “Take My Time” and “Drip Remix” it’s fair to say you show up and show out. You display an uncanny ability not to be caged or boxed in. What is your recipe for creating both conscious records and club bangers? Talk about the importance of crossing genres as an artist?

Inf Grizzy: “Take My Time” is a record that’s about my life, what I’ve been going through for the last 2 years. This song has a meaning to it, be careful who you associate with and watch your surroundings at all times because even a loved one will turn their back on you…”Drip Remix” is a cross record mixed with real Hip Hop artists twisting it similar to drill in a way, but in our own way. Real artists like me and others get overlooked because we’re not on the radar, yet… But we are real Hip Hop and we’re going to continue to be Hip Hop. “Drip” is a club record that’ll have the clubs lit fo sho and the DJs will love this one.

MJ: What’s next for Inf Grizzy. Can you give us a little inside scoop on upcoming releases, performances, etc.?

Inf Grizzy: What’s next is I’m working on new singles that are coming out soon. I’m locking in performances and expanding my music catalog for tours.

MJ: Let everyone know where to connect and follow you.

Inf Grizzy: You can connect and follow me everywhere…

Interview: International Hip Hop Threat Rhyme Assassin Returns With M.O.P & Ruste Juxx For “Run Em Up (Told Ya)”

International/national Hip Hop threat Rhyme Assassin returns with a new single, and like his last hit, he’s bringing the legends. This time around he links with M.O.P and Ruste Juxx. The new single “Run Em Ep (Told Ya)” will be available April 19th everywhere music is sold. Check out the interview below for more on the single and its creation.

MJ: You’re back with brand new music, still sharing mics with legends of the game. This time around for your new single, dropping everywhere April 19th, you have M.O.P and Ruste Juxx in “Run Em Up (Told Ya)” with production by Arcitype. How did this link-up come into play?

Rhyme Assassin: Approximately 2 years ago I purchased a few beats from the Arcitype and when I heard the beat, I used for Run Em Up all I could hear on it was M.O.P crushing the instrumental so when I considered a feature it had to be M.O.P. It took me some time to get the feature in place but super excited it worked out.

MJ: From the cover, we can already assume there will be grittiness, tough bars, and even some intimidation. Without giving too much away before April 19th, talk about the concept of the record.

Rhyme Assassin: All I can say it’s grimy and gritty, with raw bars and metaphors at the same time. It will have your head nodding like crazy. A special shout out to Arcitype, I told him the direction I wanted to take with the song, and he didn’t take long to whip out his bag of sonic magic tricks. He sent a beat that matched the exact mood I was aiming at, exactly what the song needed. It’s gonna be crazy everybody gotta keep the 19th clear for “Run Em Up.”

MJ: Why M.O.P and Ruste Juxx for the features?

Rhyme Assassin: Well, I have been always a fan of M.O.P and they are legends in the game so it’s an honor to have them on the same track. That’s why the opening was “I am on a track with legends”. Like I explained earlier they bring the right energy that the beat needed, and they annihilated the track with punchlines and metaphors. Juxx is a veteran MC and I worked with him on a few tracks, and he poses great skills and energy that would complement M.O.P on the same track, so I felt he would be the perfect match.

MJ: Is this record leading fans and audiences into something forthcoming from you?

Rhyme Assassin: Rum ‘em Up (Told ya) is the second single from my forthcoming album ‘Dedicated to Self’ which will drop this year but currently no date has been set yet. I will potentially drop one more single and 2 videos and then drop the album.

MJ: Can we expect visuals? Again, without giving too much away, what is your vision for the video?

Rhyme Assassin: I am currently in discussion of the potential of getting a video done with M.O.P and Ruste Juxx for this single. I have hopes of making the video because I know fans are going to love this offering. As a fan of M.O.P it would be a personal accomplishment and achievement to have them on video. As for the concept I will discuss with the team if everyone is on the same page to get one done.

MJ: Let everyone know how they can connect with you and keep up to date with new music, videos, tours, etc.

Rhyme Assassin: Anyone can contact me on the following email – unclerhymez@gmail.com and Rhyme Assassin on all media platforms like Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
