Born and raised in Los Angeles and a member of the music collective/label Apollo’s Harp, Hip-Hop producer g.rola (w/no caps, streaming services ain't let him make it lowercase on here smh) has spent the last two years developing a distinctly smooth and intimate sound. Growing up, his father's car radio was consistently tuned to Oldies and Hip-Hop stations, making him a natural fit to make sampled-based beats as he got older, crafting tracks that are simultaneously refreshing and comfortably familiar. His ear for warm, soulful samples ties a thread between all of his beats, whether it be the vocal chops of “I Want to Forget” or the powerful strings of “Guess Who." While he has no problem making individual tracks that stand out on their own - like his hypnotizing “Standing Together” - his ability to make striking productions has not taken away from his ability to look at the big picture. His latest album, “I Am Ready Now”, seamlessly flows from track to track without skipping a beat, no small feat considering the variety of rappers that show up throughout the tracklisting. You know when you’re hearing a g.rola beat, whether it’s on another artists album or his own. Notable prod. credits: Eyegottafined FALL OF ROME Azul mah sake freestyle Dreary Night
