- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Seattle rapper Grieves returns to deliver his fourth studio album, Winter &
The Wolves, on Rhymesayers Entertainment. The insatiable, devil-may-care MC is
well known for his meticulous exploration of life, love and loss, through a
unique medley of hip-hop and soulful music. Together with B. Lewis, Grieves
created 14 new tracks, combining organic pianos and guitars with boisterous
synthesizers, to paint a colorful backdrop for his unique blend of rapping and
singing.
A reflection on growth and maturity, Winter & The Wolves is about the
instinctual fight for survival. ItÆs about suddenly finding that youÆre all
alone, facing countless hindrances to your livelihood, and having the courage
to overcome them all. Tackling difficult obstacles like addiction and
heartbreak, Grieves wrestles with the realization that life doesnÆt get any
easier as you get older. His signature combination of humor and gloom
culminate to depict the struggle of a manÆs inner turmoil between abandoning
the dreams of his youth, and carving out a new path for himself in this world.
Grieves emerged in 2007 with his independently released album, Irreversible,
which served as a platform for several years of touring with some of
indie-rapÆs finest; Atmosphere, Macklemore, P.O.S, Brother Ali,
Cunninlynguists, and more. He didnÆt achieve national acclaim until his debut
on Rhymesayers in 2011, with the album Together/Apart, which hit #1 on the
Billboard HeatseekerÆs Chart, and #106 on the overall Billboard Top 200 chart.
Since then, heÆs been touring non-stop, headlining multiple national tours
with sold-out rooms across the country.
Winter & the Wolves will be supported by full North American and European
tours, with a re-developed live show including expanded band and light
performances. As Grieves prepares to turn up the heat in 2014, donÆt find
yourself left alone in the cold.
