Greaseball is a rapper/beat-maker from Riverside, California. He’s also 1/2 of the hiphop groups, @The Herbalistics and Strange People . He’s collaborated with several producers and artists such as ASEND, MC Lyfe, Hephty, Birote the Musical and Vel Nine. 
 Born and raised in Riverside, CA Joseph Palmerin has been making rap music since his early teens and continues to actively perform and create music as Greaseball. He also goes by “The Bad Cat”, “The Ghoul”, “The Alligator King” and “Jose the Dishwasher” in his own works as well as various collaborative works with other artists. 
 His lyrics tend to feature the themes of classic hiphop staples like bravado, dark humor, self deprecation and “hood sh*t”. A true “rapper’s rapper”, Greaseball has joined the ranks among high-caliber wordsmiths and is widely regarded by other MCs as one of the best lyricists of his time. His complex rhymes and tight rhythmic cadences allow the listener to digest his messages while still being able to nod their heads. Greaseball toes the line between wordiness and light-hearted rap banter masterfully and it shows in the way his words begin to resonate after just a few listens. 
 Greaseball currently resides in his hometown of Riverside, California.
