(Griot)

The day has finally come. The day when the anticipated team of MC Jiles and Producer Grubby Pawz come together to put the underground on lock and remind the culture what REAL grime is. Let’s talk about it!

This is the brand new collaboration between the two. 11 tracks, 40 minutes with the likes of 

-AVENUEBLVD

-Rugby Losport

-BLUEHILLBILL

-Kil The Artist

-Van Buren Records to come help push that hardcore agenda to its peak!

Jiles. This man has the sound of death with every bar he spits. He sounds like Hip-Hop’s grim reaper going door to door to all the fake cats with his scythe in hand, mic in the other, killing off all the dead weight in the game right now. He sounds legitimately pissed off. 

He’s come into this record as the underground’s judge, jury, and executioner, and he’s laying down a new standard in this era!

His vocals are absolutely guttural. Rough, raw, and rugged fluctuating delivery that’s accompanied by some of the most aggressive and graphic street poetry you will ever hear! He’s here to tell his story and his experience in life and in these streets and to tell it in the most eerie, detailed, and compelling way possible!

Although he doesn’t need it to pop, when he’s accompanied by any of the names provided, they help elevate and evolve the track from muddy to downright torrentially pouring grit! Especially the track ‘Beef Stew’ with one of the dopest verses I’ve ever heard by BLUEHILL!

At this rate, he’s gonna force himself into the culture hall of fame by pure grit alone! Ain’t nobody sounding like him right now, and with these productions behind him, it’s no exaggeration to say he dropped a classic!

Speaking of the production, we have Grubby, who has had one of the most consistent few years any producer can ask for! From working with the who’s who in the industry, from The Hidden Character to Estee and Al Divino to now Jiles! He’s the definition of a mastermind behind these projects, making sure the beats match the intensity and style to the artist themselves, and in that respect, these beats are some of the most filthy, sadistic, and gritty I’ve ever heard him lay down!

I’m taking thick drums, heavy bass lines, methodical chords, deranged synth melodies, and more. This project sounds like ‘The Street Corner reincarnated’ into a sonic equivalent with hip-hop beats! 

If anything, I’d say Grubby is a walking, breathing amplifier! Whenever he’s in the studio with an artist, they plug into his mind, and he, in return, creates exactly what they want to hear on a large scale!

When you listen to CCE that came out earlier this year, those beats come ALIVE for that iconic splash style that Al and Estee innovated! When you listen to Hood Alchemy by ???  And you listen to that cinematic street opera come to life! That is ??? in a nutshell!

These harrowing, dark, and twisted instrumentals are exactly what Jiles needed to go off on! It’s tailor-made for him, and that’s why this project speaks not only volumes for the combination but for the culture as a whole!

As expected, this project was flawless from start to finish with some of the hardest beats you’ll hear in 2025! Don’t miss it!!
