Album Notes

How do you judge a man's work? Whether you look at the results of his grind or the consistency of his work, the job is never done. Never! South Carolina is responsible for one of the hardest workers in the business. His name is Grayco and his grind gets harder and harder. With no major deal(s) on the table, Grayco has managed to put out two albums -two bangers that is; a video and an incredible MixCD. This rest is yet to come as he prepares to release "James Willie Gray" -his third LP, along with "War" the single and video from the same album.

The buzz around town is that he stepped it up. While the previous releases are Hip Hop Classics, "James Willie Gray", titled after Grayco's recently deceased dad, shows the world how South Carolina really gets down. With an array of producers from Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia and New Jersey the album is well equipped with the hard drama filled music that shadows the life of Grayco, born Kelvin Gray in South Carolina.

A born visionary, Grayco's gift is well liked around the world. His last release, "Say My Name See My Face" has been purchased by consumers in Japan, England, USA, Amsterdam, Germany and South Africa. While the world has been appreciating his previous release, Grayco's goal is to grind harder at home. Equipped with "major" tools that include a video, a wrapped van, tens of thousands stickers, flyers, MixCD and other promotional items, South Carolina, the Southeast, the USA and the World will know on January 3rd, 2006. Grayco -James Willie Gray will hit stores that day.

Grayco's style is somewhat unusual. His songs continue to touch folks far and near -simply Rap Soul at its best. The lead single "War" describes a Machiavellian form of love for his brother as the chorus vividly highlights his will to go war for "you, me and us". While the energy is apparent on "War", "My Mind", "The Window", "Brother's Keeper" and "Take It Away" are soulfully driven by the production of Ray Murrell, The Evil Dr. O Benders, Dre' Twice and Kasim Samad. Other tracks such as "Lakki (Welcome to the Cakalak)" features South Carolina up and coming rappers T-Dot, 3 Grand, Topp$, and Billie Busthead. "No Prisoners" features the Sidewalk Soldiers -Hass Ali and Lava as the three murder a drama filled track by Dr. O.
