Grimey Gurt is a super strong advocate of Roxbury in Boston. You can’t go too many places without seeing his “Roxbury State of Mind” shirts on someone but if you spend a few days in Boston you’ll quickly find out that the glitz and glamor exists like on TV in a select few areas but there’s cities within the city filled with pain. Gurt’s story is like one straight out of the Hip Hop classics; broken home, no hope, no guidance, prison but most importantly the change to doing better and showing people from the same place as him that the world is bigger than the hood. And that’s where we are now.
