INTRO TO BOBBYZ GRIND

Aiight so I already know this guy is amazing so of course i have to introduce him to you so uhh here u go!!!

Who is @BobbyzGrind?

Born in Bronx, New York and raised between there and Brownsville, Brooklyn, Bobby Johnson's love for music and the arts would carry him to new heights and places.
Currently the Bronx native holds many hats. He is the Executive Creative Director for The Sequence Entertainment Group, and an executive in the Upstart Radio station RadioCityRadio. Not to mention Bobby is currently a consultant and business advisor to an MC he calls "The Big Ticket", the physically imposing yet lyrically skilled VarTower. The son of a female corrections officer, Bobby spent most of his youth alone.
"When I was 8, My mom worked two jobs and attended a Master's degree program at Lincoln University on the weekends. So I was a latch-key kid. I always loved to draw, create. I had a million Legos, so my imagination had no bounds." It wasn't until age 12 in Brooklyn that the artist would truly begin to show himself.
I knew I was going to rap when I snuck into my uncle's room and took his walkman to listen to music. There was a tape in it and I pressed play. The tape in the walkman was EPMD's strictly business.
Bobby would hone his lyrical skills in Battles at Union square, Washington Square Park, and anywhere he could battle a worthy opponent.
