Got a track from Roc-A-Fella artist Grafh today. Those of you who actually watched Dame Dash's Ultimate Hustler -- a show which apparently jacked its tagline, "Life is the Dash," from some random poem on the internet -- may have seen Grafh on one or two of the episodes.
Grafh is probably best known for tearing up Puffy's Da Band in a Miami freestyle battle a couple of years ago. His lyrics are similar to what you hear from most east coast rappers today -- lots of guntalk and violence. What saves him from being a generic rapper is his delivery, which carries a lot more charisma than most people putting out albums these days.
Here's a track Grafh did with Jay-Z. You'll hear in the lyrics that Grafh references the killing of his father. Growing up, Grafh saw his father murdered and was then mentored by the C.E.O. of Black Hand Entertainment, Chas Williams, who later signed Grafh to his first record deal:

You can buy his preview album here. A full length is in the works and coming soon.
