A silver Volvo 240 D-L/ It make me wanna choke somebody out/ Call me Sprewell, Grynch raps on his valentine to his 86 crapmobile, My Volvo. The Ill Pill-produced track, off his 09 EP Chemistry, recently got the video treatmentwhich it definitely deserved, as the cut represents all that the diminutive local MC with a hefty baritone is about: honest, often hilarious, tales of something less than the good life. Around the time Grynch released the EP, he had begun flirting with none other than Warren G, as well as getting some love from Billboard magazine. Not sure if this will lead to a new car yet, but this Ballard native is flat-out one of the most talented lyricists in the scenewhich is saying something. With D.Black, SOL, DJ Vitamin D. KEVIN CAPP
