"Like a True Player Runnin' Out the Endzone"


Ah yes, the crown jewel of Big Grams' new EP finally made its way onto the internet and is currently wreaking havoc on speakers worldwide. If you thought you knew what heavy sounded like, I'd challenge you to rethink your definition after listening to the track below. Skrillex came correct with a rolling 808 bass line that will leave you wondering whether you have a whole pack of midgets in the backseat wraslin'. It sounds like Big Boi and Skrillex said, don't worry Phantogram, we've got this one and then proceeded to weave together a fierce three minutes and 47 seconds of loud bass and clangy percussion. It's only a seven song EP, but I'm fully bought into the genre bending rhythms that Big Grams has managed to put together...#DrumMachine

"Always Overstood, Never Undermined"


I must say, this whole Big Grams supergroup thing is really working well thus far. Their lead single Fell in the Sun was like a cool breath of fresh air on a day with no clouds. And now here comes the second salvo from ATL's finest in the form of Goldmine Junkie. Instead of it's heavy and funk filled predecessor, their newest track is more of a jazzy ballad. Check it out below...

When was the last time you hear Big Boi harmonize on a track? Tip of the cap to Sir Lucious for showing a wider range of skills. If these two tracks are any kid of indiction of what's to come, Big Grams' upcoming EP may be gaining steam for top release in 2015 when it finds its way onto the internet in two days. I certainly hope to validate that when I see them perform live at Treasure Island Music Festival in about a month...#BigGrams

ATL STAND UP! Big Grams is in the Building


Nowadays it's hard to come out of nowhere with an album and legitimately surprise people. Despite the odds, a dynamic duo formed out of the ether today and moments ago dropped a lead single. The supergroup, known as Big Grams, is comprised of ATL's finest, Big Boi and Phantogram. Between them, they bring immense amounts of funk and Southern drawl that packing a slow and melodic punk. Press play before I get too effusive with my praise...

Everything from the slow, bass and horn heavy beat to the high pitched hook meshes so well together. It's the type of fresh Georgia Hip Hop that we knew and grew to love in the early 2000s. I'm not sure whether it's the nostalgia that got me tonight or whether fresh Hip Hop is becoming increasingly hard to come by, but Fell in the Sun is hands down one of my favorite tracks of 2015 thus far. Stay on the look out for Big Grams upcoming seven song EP (that will feature Skrillex and Run the Jewels) due out on September 25th...#FellInTheSun
