We had the good fortune of connecting with gr3ys0n and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi gr3ys0n, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
when i was 10 years old in brooklyn NY my older brother, uncle and their friends made a group called H.U.M.P. Squad, but due to the fact i was to young i wasnt able to rap with them and for the next 12 years something always came up to stop me. so one day while hanging out with my cousin who makes beats i asked if i could make a song and from there its history

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
im the gamer not a gangster who just happen to rap known as gr3ys0n, i make music about things i love like video games, anime, and comic book and i use them as a muse, reference to create a parallel to my thoughts, feelings, and life

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
most my friends are home bodies so at beat i would show them the new korean spot “88 Kpot” and rest of the week chill n catch up on life

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
first i want to shout out my family because if it wasnt for them i wouldnt have had the tough skin to even go through with being a rap artist, i want to thank my brothers in my Crew Otaku Gang because they held me down for so many years as well as become a muse for some songs as well. i want to give a shout out to the Nerd people of Color Collective alot of the members like mega ran, kadesh flow, richie branson, eye Q, creative mind frames, sky blew, shubzilla, substancial have given me advice to keep chasing my dreams and reaching new heights. i want to shout out wreck the system due to the fact their hustle made me realize that i can do more to keep grinding and leveling up, shout out to lord xvae, sailor V, bill beats, frivolous Shara, diggz da prophecy, gxg wolf, dizzy eight, mix willaims, geno five, errol, stephen xavier and much more
