GRiMMTOPiA 02:44
No place like home base Home plate Where the blue ribbon and the gold wait Greeted with a handshake Thumbs up Wink Gun flowing like the water that the Nile river runs from It looked so pretty when it all came undone Sprawled out Felt like my insides crawled out Crawled out Happy with the man I've become now Look so pretty when I walk through that smoke cloud Faded as they turned out Brushing off the slightest Reminded The brightness Of my own devices Take pride in my likeness Rally through dangerous valleys The darkest of alleys Loving it madly I'm focused And burning like forests You try to ignore it And then it starts pouring And now I walk around all thought no talk All thought no talk My gosh Look at the time that it's bought It's priceless Funny how I act in a crisis When that crisis is flightless and heightless Think I better chalk it up and pass it to another buck I'm packing up You can find me in Grimmtopia No sight just bite it Feel around taste what's inside it Public Private Any climate Setting Rising Silver Lining And I take it day by day No sight Just bite it Now you know

THiNK 05:04
You're someone who I think about Whether I'm sleeping or daydreaming You are somewhat of a bother now Too busy thinking how it could've turned out Love is always in a rush It likes to boast It likes to gush It likes to turn a soft touch Into something more Much Such a lust Such as us And now seems you need to let the paint rust Whittle at your paintbrush And let the trust be just enough It is for us I'm sure of that Next time you'll be sure of that We'll take a nap Get on my back And laugh our way through through beaten paths And just laugh You are someone who I think about Whether I am sleeping or daydreaming You are somewhat of a bother now Too busy thinking how it could've turned out (You are dreaming) I wouldn't trade it I'm better jaded and complicated Been aggravated with some choices I've been making Time isn't waiting It's accelerating While I'm busy congregating and conversating All the things that I have done in the cut Growing up Make a loudmouth hush And a white girl blush

about

GRiMMTOPiA|THiNK has moments that are just as sharp, stupefying and dangerous as its hazy, dream-like finish is unreal, with blAcknight's production reflecting dark nooks of Chicago known by few. GRiMMTOPiA is an especially menacing symphony of madness, finding a character (as depicted in the lyrics of J.A. Grimms) reveling in newfound freedom and independence while neglecting feelings of pain, diving head-first into a manic, all-consuming bender without sensor. THiNK is the inevitable come down, finding the character at the end of his binge, in a fog and haunted by thoughts he’d managed to block out for a bit, seemingly mocked by the cliché ‘you can run but you can't hide'. Over a whimsical, dreamy backbeat, he now accepts that the past is what makes him who he is, finding his footing and finally ready to move on.

Grimms brings a unique touch to the traditional form of rapping with a folk-like approach to storytelling amidst BLACKNIGHT's dreamy, pulsing, 'woozy' production and rock-based guitar playing. They completed a full US tour in 2016 and went on to make an album with producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse) under the project name Big Branch. ... more
