You thought Baltimore rapper Jayy Grams would stop after his introduction to the Hip-Hop game ‘Good Times’? Think again, the 18-year-old lyricist is back with another dope EP. As mentioned in my ‘Good Times’ review, Grams is an artist that is going back to the roots of Hip-Hop. His flow veers away from mainstream records that have been boomin’ on the charts, instead, he gives us raw and seasoned lyrics that allows listeners to read him just as he intended — Baltimore cat just putting on for his city. In his newest EP, Grime & Bazzlinez, Gram introduces his team LOWFi Movement, who also has a hot track "The Shield" on their Sound Cloud — the beat is crazy, nothing but consistent head bops.

Grime & Bazzlinez starts with ‘G&B’, a track that begins with a spooky vibe accompanied by constant drums that build up anticipation. Once that transition comes, you hear the scratches of the turntables and suddenly, that smooth Cali infused beat drops and Grams starts going off. He makes it known that he is not afraid to speak his mind, period; which explains his purpose for Hip-Hop ‘now I use this platform to try to solve it, the solution’. Its pretty dope to see a such a young rapper ahead of his time, especially compared to new rappers who have created their own new styles in Hip-Hop.

Grams is a vivid storyteller, we’ve witnessed this in ‘Good Times’ and it continues in "Pigs Theory" as he compares the motives of police officers when it comes to associating Black men in particular, to drugs and violence. Police brutality is an issue that has only got worse throughout the years, "my officer my n*gga you a grown hall monitor". And he’s right, lately, some police officers have done nothing but “find” trouble instead of protecting our people. The 7-track EP holds a consistent flow and energy as Grams gives us the insights of living in Bodymore. One of my favorites from the EP is ‘Mindful’, it uses the same chords from Roy Ayers "Everybody Loves The Sunshine". The track features Von Wilda, another rapper of the LOWFi Movement. The two rappers did a collab on the single "The Shield" which is another banger; these two compliment each others flow perfectly.

The EP finishes with "Rap Robbery" which outlines Grams’ mission to bring real Hip-Hop back. He mentions “half these brain dead n*ggas disrespecting Hip-Hop and I don’t respect that at all”. That is a shot at the mumble rappers who have added to the evolution of Hip-Hop; some Hip-Hop fans rock with them while others may not, it’s all about your preferences.
