████ "I'm just like a lot of people, a fucked-up kid ████
████ from a broken home trying to make my way in the ████
████ world," says Griz, a strong, imposing, 250-pound, ████
████ street smart young man with a bald head, a body ████
████ etched with tattoos and a don't-fuck-with-me look ████
████ in his eyes. A child of the streets of New York ████
████ after running away from home at 15, an Italian kid ████
████ who became a ghetto hero, Griz is as hardcore as ████
████ hardcore gets--in music and in life. ████
████ ████
████ But as real and heart-wrenching as his story is, ████
████ you've heard similar ones before. What you haven't ████
████ previously heard from a real deal hardcore rock ████
████ singer-songwriter is this: "What I'm doing now is ████
████ more than music, it's a movement to give every kid ████
████ who cries at home because he feels the world ████
████ doesn't give a fuck about him hope that there is ████
████ another way to escape the pain. It's about ████
████ love--love cures all pain, heals all wounds." ████
████ ████
████ On his debut solo album, My Evolution (Ragin' ████
████ Grace), released Spring 2004, Griz turns anger into ████
████ redemption, hate into understanding, and ████
████ desperation into salvation. While in the Orlando, ████
████ FL studio of producer Joe Smith, whose name has ████
████ been on albums that have sold 100,000,000 copies, ████
████ Griz completely scrapped the unrepentant album he ████
████ first was going to record. "I've walked earth, ████
████ seen heaven and touched hell," he says. "Life is a ████
████ constant battle between good and evil. I've done a ████
████ lot of fuckin' wrong things in my life. I can ████
████ honestly now say I wish I had done a few things ████
████ differently in my past but I was in the mind frame ████
████ that I had to do what I had to do to survive. I ████
████ have built up a lot of fucked-up feelings ████
████ throughout my life and once I was able to release ████
████ all those feelings--I mean, I cry on this ████
████ album--once I forgave people for what's happened in ████
████ the past, something I'd never done before, I ████
████ realized that there's more to life than what I was ████
████ doing. There is more to life than yesterday.there ████
████ is tomorrow." ████
████ ████
████ For Griz, whose knuckles bear teeth marks from ████
████ street fights, what he was doing involved ████
████ drug-dealing and gunplay and much more to which he ████
████ won't admit. My Evolution, which signals a musical ████
████ evolution in hardcore rock some have called ████
████ Eminem-meets-System Of A Down, marks the ████
████ culmination of his own extraordinary journey. ████
████ "Everything that has happened to me yesterday made ████
████ me who I am today," he says. "I have finally come ████
████ to realize that my deepest struggles are actually ████
████ now my greatest riches." ████
████ ████
████ Griz was four years old and living in Harrison, NY ████
████ when his parents divorced. He then went with his ████
████ mother and younger sister to live in nearby ████
████ Portchester. His mother was a secretary during the ████
████ day and a waitress in the evening. "She was young ████
████ and alone, bipolar and manic depressive. Now I can ████
████ understand my mom, and I love her very much, but at ████
████ the time I was a child living in a fucked-up place ████
████ and the only one I had to blame was her. Growing ████
████ up we didn't have shit. We lived in the basement ████
████ of my grandmother's house with no car, no phone, no ████
████ cable television, no nothing. In elementary ████
████ school, Horton School, I was the only white kid in ████
████ all my classes. Horton was located down the street ████
████ from the projects that we lived across from. The ████
████ fuckin' school was so bad it was condemned. I used ████
████ to get jumped all the time just because I was ████
████ white. That's where I learned to fight." ████
████ ████
████ There was a point in his life that he remembers ████
████ eating canned fruit for meals: "I remember one ████
████ time we were walking out of the buildings in Mount ████
████ Vernon where we were living and my mother found ████
████ some change on the floor and she bought bread for ████
████ us to eat. She cried and prayed to God to thank ████
████ Him that night; I'll never forget that." Meanwhile ████
████ his father remarried and relocated to well-to-do ████
████ Greenwich, CT. When the 14-year-old tried to join ████
████ him, his new wife didn't want any part of Griz. ████
████ His father tried but his wife insisted that if he ████
████ allowed Griz to move in then she would move back to ████
████ Italy and take his newborn daughter with her. His ████
████ father was forced to make a decision and once again ████
████ Griz got the shit end of the stick. ████
████ ████
████ "I was the hard, tough kid who was always in ████
████ trouble. I wanted to be part of my father's life ████
████ so bad I did everything I could to be with him. I ████
████ was captain of the football and baseball teams just ████
████ to prove myself to my dad. I figured if I was the ████
████ best then he would be proud of me--but he never ████
████ came to see me play. I was embarrassed to be so ████
████ poor. I was being raised by my mother, and ████
████ although she tried, we just couldn't get ahead. ████
████ I'd get up at 5:30 in the morning, in fuckin' ████
████ middle school, and walk five miles to my father's ████
████ house and hide in the backyard and when the school ████
████ bus would pull up I'd get on--so the kids would ████
████ think I lived there. I never had any white friends ████
████ until middle school and even then either they ████
████ didn't like me or their parents didn't approve of ████
████ me because I was from a bad area and I hung out ████
████ with the black kids. I've walked on the grass on ████
████ both sides of the fence--the country club and the ████
████ projects; the rich never knew about the poor and ████
████ the poor never knew about the rich. Let me tell ████
████ you from experience, the grass sucks on both ████
████ sides." ████
████ ████
████ When he was 15, he finally ran away from home. But ████
████ going to an uncle's house, the door was slammed in ████
████ his face. So he lived on the streets, going from ████
████ place to place, ending up in the hood. Always able ████
████ to put words together, he started rapping, finding ████
████ an outlet to his frustration by putting his ████
████ feelings into his music. That same year Griz wrote ████
████ his first song, the aptly-titled "Problem Child" ████
████ which was produced by a childhood friend of his who ████
████ went by the name of Shadow S, and put it out on the ████
████ streets. They formed a group called Black Thornz ████
████ that went on to become a local success. Suddenly ████
████ the white kid, who never really fit in, became ████
████ known all through the hood as an unbelievable ████
████ rapper. He'd go to shows at the Apollo in Harlem ████
████ with his black friends and no one would bother him. ████
████ "People have a misconception of the hood. I have ████
████ been hanging around the streets my whole life and ████
████ nobody ever bothered me. The problem with people ████
████ is that they fear what they don't understand so ████
████ they stereotype shit. Me, I didn't give a fuck ████
████ about the world or no one in it. I was going to do ████
████ whatever the fuck I wanted and nobody was going to ████
████ stop me. If I wanted to go to Harlem, or any other ████
████ hood for that matter, I was going and if that meant ████
████ getting into a fight or whatever, then so be it. ████
████ With me, everything is do-or-die. There's no ████
████ middle--it's all or nothing." ████
████ ████
████ Playing four or five shows a week, from the Bronx ████
████ and Brooklyn to Westchester and Connecticut, Griz, ████
████ nicknamed for his Grizzly Bear demeanor, became a ████
████ big name on the streets. He also started making ████
████ money in less than legal ways. "I was all alone. ████
████ I learned how to survive on my own. I had my own ████
████ place, my own cars. I was gonna make something out ████
████ of myself. The world might have fucked me but I ████
████ was going to fuck it back; one way or another I was ████
████ determined to win." ████
████ ████
████ One day he went to where his mother was living and ████
████ asked if he could stay there for a while. She said ████
████ yes and he seemed to be happy for a few weeks but ████
████ that would soon end. One day he walked in and ████
████ found her boyfriend at that time shooting heroin. ████
████ Griz never became involved in drugs after seeing an ████
████ uncle die in front of him from a suicidal overdose. ████
████ So he confronted the boyfriend and they argued but ████
████ when his mom came home the boyfriend denied the ████
████ incident and his mother believed the boyfriend. A ████
████ few nights later while sleeping, Griz woke up to ████
████ find the boyfriend standing over him with a ████
████ baseball bat about to smash in his skull. "We ████
████ fought, and it was a bloodbath. The fight started ████
████ in the house but soon found its way out on the ████
████ street and there was blood all over. I beat this ████
████ motherfucker like I never beat no man before him. ████
████ My mom comes home and sees us fighting and jumps on ████
████ me to leave him alone! My mother's neighbors ████
████ called my father to tell him what was happening but ████
████ he just told them not to ever call his house again, ████
████ especially while his family was sleeping. Needless ████
████ to say he never showed up. When the cops came they ████
████ asked if we wanted to press charges and we both ████
████ said no but they insisted that we couldn't both ████
████ stay in the house so one of us had to leave. My ████
████ mother thought it would be best if I left, so I ████
████ did. I never went home again." ████
████ ████
████ After four years in the Black Thornz, Griz went ████
████ solo for a year or so and then went on to form a ████
████ new group called Confidential, a crew of Italian ████
████ and Puerto Rican rappers. The buzz was so strong ████
████ that the group landed a spot on TV's "The Queen ████
████ Latifah Show" in 1999. The next year, one of their ████
████ tracks, co-written by Griz, was heard on the ████
████ Virgin-released soundtrack Romeo Must Die. He then ████
████ joined The Unit, whose 2002 album 100% Hater Proof, ████
████ released on EMI, was executive produced by Latifah. ████
████ Griz co-penned a track from that album which also ████
████ appeared on the soundtrack to the 2003 ████
████ Latifah-Steve Martin box office smash Bringing Down ████
████ The House. ████
████ ████
████ Griz is still idolized wherever he goes in and out ████
████ of the hood. "I'm not looked at as black or white. ████
████ I'm accepted because I'm real. I don't wear a ████
████ baseball cap backwards; I don't try to be someone ████
████ I'm not. A lot of white kids go to the hood and ████
████ try to adapt, get gold teeth and wear oversized ████
████ clothes. I'm just me all the time, what you see is ████
████ what you get. And I have to say that when I had ████
████ nothing and no one, the projects was the only place ████
████ I was accepted. I have nothing but love for the ████
████ people there. Don't get shit twisted--I love being ████
████ Italian, I love who I am. I don't forget where I'm ████
████ from. I respect those who respect me, period! I ████
████ demand my respect but in the same light I show ████
████ respect. I am loved wherever I go...I can go into ████
████ the hood and roll dice and I can go to the social ████
████ club and play cards." ████
████ ████
████ But musically something was missing for Griz. He ████
████ wasn't able to express himself in rap the way he ████
████ wanted. "Music is an emotion, it speaks from the ████
████ heart. I grew up where beat machines were all you ████
████ had. I'd lay down verses to the sounds of a ████
████ keyboard underneath me. That's all I knew." ████
████ That's all he knew until he met Grace and Marc, of ████
████ his record label, Ragin' Grace. They saw a lot ████
████ more in him than just rap--they saw a movement. ████
████ They posed the question to him: Why don't you do a ████
████ rock album? They saw in him what he wanted all ████
████ along; he just didn't know it yet. "I rebelled ████
████ against doing rock 'n' roll," says Griz. "I had ████
████ been on the radio, on TV, on albums and mixtapes. ████
████ I was known. Why would I drop all that and start ████
████ over?" But in the same breath when asked how he ████
████ felt about rock music, he replied, "Rock was always ████
████ part of me. I love the feeling of live ████
████ instruments, that reality, that adrenalin." He ████
████ agreed to go out to Orlando, Florida and meet Joe ████
████ Smith. They axed the original concept and began ████
████ from scratch on a hard rock album of pure emotion. ████
████ Griz laid down the melodies for the songs and ████
████ Smith, with a band at his command, molded the music ████
████ to capture that emotion. ████
████ ████
████ In the process, Griz discovered that it was time to ████
████ forgive. He was ready to let go of the hate and ████
████ pain he had been carrying for so long so he poured ████
████ his heart out on the record. "The music really ████
████ became my stairway to heaven. My outlook on life, ████
████ my mind, body and spirit, all changed. I called my ████
████ mother and told her I forgave her for any mistakes ████
████ she had made and that I appreciate her. I realized ████
████ all she needed was love. My dad and I have become ████
████ closer too. I was a street kid--I didn't give a ████
████ fuck about no one and as far as I was concerned ████
████ nobody gave a fuck about me. But I have come to ████
████ realize that the only way to have a happy tomorrow ████
████ is to live for today and forgive yesterday's ████
████ mistakes. That's exactly what I was able to do ████
████ through this album." ████
████ ████
████ On My Evolution, his voice is deep and strong, his ████
████ delivery powerful and full of energy. On ████
████ "Hardcore," he roars, "What are we?" and the ████
████ screams reply, "We are.hardcore!" You feel his ████
████ words pounding into your head and before you know ████
████ it they sink deep into your heart. ████
████ ████
████ On "Nobody Gives A Fuck," he forces you to see how ████
████ we hear the ones we love but don't listen to what ████
████ they are saying. You feel his pain, respect his ████
████ strength, witness his growth, and acknowledge his ████
████ power. You are drawn to him by his confidence. ████
████ You can measure the depth of his soul as he tells ████
████ his mother, father, and God that he understands the ████
████ reasons for his struggles and forgives them for his ████
████ pain on "I Need Some Time." By the last note of My ████
████ Evolution, you no longer fear him, you begin to ████
████ understand him. ████
████ ████
████ Today, when Griz takes the stage he owns every ear, ████
████ every heart and every mind, and vows to touch every ████
████ soul. "I should've been dead a few times," Griz ████
████ says. "I'm still here for a reason--I want to make ████
████ a difference in people's lives. Maybe through my ████
████ music they will be able to find themselves the way ████
████ I was able to finally find myself." ████
