Bill Grippin has a passion for riding beats and coming up with witty, fast-paced bars. Listeners have often told him that he has two sides to his music. On the one hand, he can go from tongue twisting lyrics that appeal to hip-hop heads with his track "Hey Rico," and on the other, Bill can write slow melodic feel good lyrics that appeal to the masses as evidenced by his track "Still Tippin'." Grippin wrote his first rap song at the age of 16 when he was living with a friend in Texas, which is where he is originally from. His music represents the perfect line between mainstream and underground. Bill is influenced by Artists such as Mac Miller, Kevin Gates, and Eminem. When it comes to his stage show, Bill Grippin is like a cross between Elvis Presley and the Beastie Boys. Opening up for Funk Volume events in Houston, TX, was a major turning point in his career. Bill then realized that having both a strong work ethic and consistency with music releases would allow him to be seen as a great Artist by his peers! He is such a incredible live act to see. Bill Grippin is one of the greatest MC's of this generation: rapid, fluid, dexterous and unpredictable; capable of pulling off long-form narratives or withering asides live over his music.
