There’s something about New York rappers. Maybe it’s the city’s constant motion, or maybe it’s the way pain and ambition get woven together in every verse. For Grandmazbaby, it’s both—and then some. He’s not just another up-and-comer dropping freestyles in the living room; he’s someone who’s taken every hard moment, every late-night thought, and turned it into fuel.
From Freestyles With Friends to Finding a Calling
It started out like it does for a lot of artists—just messing around. “Tbh I was freestyling with some home boys and they was like, yo, you can actually rap. Why don’t you take it seriously?” Grandmazbaby remembers. At first, he brushed it off, just some fun with the crew. But when the noise faded and he was left alone with his thoughts, something shifted. “I got by myself and really thought, maybe I could be an artist.”
That was the spark. Suddenly, he found himself drawn to beats every day, the urge to freestyle growing stronger. “I started listening to beats day to day and started freestyling on all type of beats and really got the feeling for it!” he says. It wasn’t about copying anyone’s style or chasing whatever was hot at the moment—it was about finding his own groove, his own sound.
Different By Design
Ask Grandmazbaby what sets him apart, and he doesn’t hesitate. “I feel like I’m different because no one seen or been through the pain I seen or felt. I’m a leader—never really wanted to copy no one’s way, even when it sounded like it was the right thing. Something told me to keep going down the path God got for me.”
That sense of originality and authenticity runs through everything he does. His music isn’t just about flexing or following trends; it’s about survival, hope, and the weird beauty that comes from walking through fire and coming out on the other side. In a scene where imitation is easy and chasing clout is common, Grandmazbaby’s refusal to follow the crowd is what makes his voice stand out.
Building a Craft, Building a Brand
Music for Grandmazbaby isn’t just a hobby—it’s a craft. He dives deep into his own process, experimenting with new sounds and letting his creativity run wild. “I like to make new music and my craft, and I like watching people play with my music videos and mix matching my songs.”
It’s not just about the music, either. He’s got the mindset of a mogul, thinking beyond tracks and mixtapes to what his brand could be. “I want to be a star artist one day. I plan to promote my music and brand and soon to be a business!!” The hustle is real, and it’s only getting bigger.
What’s Next
Right now, Grandmazbaby is in the studio, putting together his first album. “I’m currently trying get this album ready for my people—stay tuned!!!” he says, energy buzzing in every word. It’s not just another project; it’s a statement, a promise, and an invitation all at once.
