GRiM Barsman is a counter culture Hip Hop/Grime Artist from Manchester. Lance 'GRiM' Hargreaves is a veteran of the Manchester grime scene who started with 'Ghetto Residents' before forming 'The MancUnion' with Skittles (Levelz) in the early days of the citys blossoming scene. After a short hiatus from music, he returned as frontman for the band G.R.I.M (Great Riddims In Mind), an experimental fusion of Rock, Dubstep, Funk, HipHop and D&B laced with his signature, thought-provoking, intricate flows. After 3 genre-defying EP's with the band, GRiM Barsman is now focusing on solo HipHop/Grime projects. With a style likened to that of Akala and LowKey and influences such as Wize Intelligent, Immortal technique Kendrick Lamaar & J Cole, GRiM Barsman is a wordsmith with something to say, a raucous live act and an intense, layered recording artist. He has 'The Barsman Initiative Vol 1' out now and Vol 2 plus a collaborative EP currently in production.
