100 Grand - December 2009 - Hip Hop

100 GRAND BIO:

New York City, the birthplace of Biggie and Jay introduces a new MC aiming

to make his mark on the world of hip-hop. The young Mc goes by the name of 100 Grand. Grand was born Seth Munford to

middle class parents of African American and

Hispanic descent, in Laurelton, Queens. While growing up, 100 Grand was

motivated by many legendary rappers to come out of New York, however it was the West coast rapper Tupac Shakur who inspired

him to begin writing poetry at the age of

ten.

By the time he was eleven Grand had developed a flow of his own and began

rhyming to the amazement of his family and friends. Though he enjoyed rapping Grand did not begin to consider rapping as a

career until he began college. While he continued pursuing his major for Business Management, Grand began working

closely with a team of other entertainers with dreams of their own. However due

to unforeseen circumstances this venture did not flourish. Although unsure of

his next move Grand kept pushing for his dream. 100 Grand prepared himself for

his introduction in this industry as a powerhouse MC with lyrical prowess, and the

release of his first mixtape, Grand Opening Vol. 1 that was his launching pad. “I’m

hoping just to bring hip-hop back to its original essence when it was about

making heartfelt music, and bringing out different emotions in people,” Grand

openly states. Soon after Grand began to garner a buzz, however it was the

release of his mixtape, Grand Opening Vol. 2 that he garnered the notoriety from New York City’s underground hip-hop circuit.
