Mr Grevis Interview

So where do you get the name Mr Grevis from?
Funny u should ask... I'm in the works of making a 2 minute youtube vid explaining this! haha its not a name! its an expression i made up, the video will explain it better

You are working on an album, what is it called?
I'm working on 2 albums one of which is fully recorded and in the cuts/mixing/mastering stage now i decided to release a 10 track free album first then a full length later.

When can we expect to hear it?
The short album hopefully by april but defiantly may 25th at the very latest. The second album i already have 6 tracks written for and 3 new beats so hopefully december for that one... i have saved my good tracks for that album so hopefully people like the first album cos then they should defiantly dig the second one!

Who is involved in production for the album?
The short album, dazastah, rob shaker and paulie p. Similar for the second album but i have old beats from trials that I've written too and 3 brand new trials beats that I've half written tracks too! There probably 5 of my favourite songs I've done, and i don't say that all that often about my own music cos I'm mega self critical!

Who are you main influences when it comes to Hip Hop?
I would have to say naughty by nature cos its the first tape i ever bought and i knew something changed when i bought that tape! Still love that album! Fucken love guilty simpson he sounds so basic cos his flow just rolls but he is really intricate at the same time spits multis and u hardly notice cos he just rolls on the beat. Brother ali, eminem. As far as ozzy hip hop goes hilltops, drapht, horrowshow funk oars vents downside and i reckon pez is a fucken sick emcee too.... Not really a massive fan of staunch hip hop about shanking ppl etc, i been in alot of strife with the law over my life but i don't wanna put out a negative image and try come across like i think I'm a tough guy! I like to spit about life, relevant issues and send a positive message and make music that i myself would actually wanna hear!

What do you think of the scene in Perth?
Perth scene is fucken sick, mostly not alot of beef and everyone helps each other out etc i think we got a really good community of people that all stick together and unite in times of crisis and need.

Who are some locals we should watch out for?
I think bitter has had that underground crown locked down for quite some time now... very hardworking emcee! it shows in his tunes. My favourite emcee would be complete, dude is crazy talented if only he would just stop rapping about raping small children haha. Soma is fucken dope its like having a sick UK rapper right here in perth! Dsc boys go hard too.... There is a few young emcees and crews who I'm not massively feeling but out of the young guns i would have to say i really like what I'm hearing from Dista theres still a bit of room for improvement but that said i already dig his music and i like the direction he is going with it!

Do you have any shows coming up?
Yes i do... its bitter b's mix tape launch/birthday party at rose mount on may 25th! Headlined by seth sentry. Me and porsah laine are on the support! I will be giving away free copy of my album on the night to anyone who wants one!
Thanks for ur time and props on what u guys are doing on this page! Grevis
