... let’s contextualize the complicated history of the music industry in the city. Like many other cities that are finding it difficult to elevate their homegrown artists to the next career level at consistent rates—Houston and Toronto to name others—Philadelphia is no different. In my limited experience organizing DIY hip-hop shows in Philly for the last three years, I’ve witnessed some serious raw talent fly far under the radar. Philadelphia is not an A1 music or hip-hop city. It’s not New York. It’s not Atlanta. Things simply don’t pop here as fast as they do in other more predominant hip-hop markets where embedded cultures exist entirely dedicated to scouting and developing new talent. Like AI said, Philly is not an easy place to play in. 

AWW MAN! 

GrandeMarshall makes All Conditions Gear music for real ones around the globe. His new Fool's Gold album My Brothers Keeper is filled with unbreakable cuts like "PULLUP'S THEME," now immortalized with an appropriately rugged video ready for winter and beyond. Shot in North Philadelphia by director Kumasi Sadiki (mastermind behind streetwear outpost The Good Company), the city's toughest rides provide a backdrop for Grande's self-assured bars: You ain’t gon’ get it with your hand out / We put in work and made it happen. "PULLUP'S THEME" is the soundtrack to lace up and get yours.

Philly's GrandeMarshall came into the scene with a trail of burning rubber in his wake, dropping the acclaimed 800 and Mugga Man mixtapes while still in his teens and linking with Fool's Gold, home to innovative, independent-minded rap releases from Danny Brown, Run The Jewels and more. Fans flock to Grande's multi-layered quotables and smoked-out ear for beats, and the MC's heavily anticipated My Brothers Keeper is his purest, most potent vision yet. After throwing down the gauntlet with "Pull Up's Theme," GM offers up "The Formula," dropping bar after bar of that "real spill" he's renowned for, atop a moody, trunk-walloping beat from longtime collaborator Ben Pramuk (who handles production throughout the entire project). Stay tuned for more MBK music leading up to the full-length release this January.
