In the Boogie Down Bronx, a compilation of people circumvented all poverish discretions and talent within a culture. The culture we speak of is Hip-Hop internationally. All elements such as Writers, DJ’s, Breakdancers, MCs, birth many millenia of artist sourcing upon the consciousness within. Hip-Hop’s expansion within knowledge of self from 5 Percenters and Master teachers whom is rooted of all.. came an artist born and inspired of it in 1991. Now 32 laps around the sun his name is GRAND EYE EL. Music to art Hip-Hop has influenced this artist in a multitude of skills and wisdom. His art finds foundation of Writer culture in contemporary pop style with a grit of New York City flavor illustrated with voracity. Compositions like "INSIGNIA: The foul man’s dealings" 25 x 30 on pure cotton paper with his master medium of alcohol ink, gel-pens and paint devotes his soul to creating pieces mirroring the trinity of spirit, mentality, and the physical. Wrapped in truth and conspiracy, the artist purpose is meant to draw in all viewers. Allowing the first view to be fun and explorative. However as you sink in deeper, what one will find is a mirror of ones questioning or even more so, the detriment of struggle, the beauty of culture, and messaging to awaken the idea of a free mind. The artist explains "I like to call my self a Flow artist, the same way a writer starts tagging walls and creates style is the same way I like my pen to flow, I allow my sensitivity to the blank page purge my emotions on the page or canvas, in which then...it reveals a concept that I can determine in the physical as it comes from the spirit and absolves in the mental" Born and raised in The Northeast Bronx, Parkside projects. GRAND EYE EL finds himself remaining true to his culture, what is "true" you ask? it is the elements grounded in moral, technique, wisdom and the expression of his fore-fathers/mothers whom will it was to expand the teachings to the next gen. MUSIC is where you see The Bronxite lay the verbal expression that reflects the abstract in which his pen and paint brushes push. If you want to see a perfect imagination of such, check out his verses off his singles "Keys to life" "DAT GOD SH.." and "love your own" off Queens, NY own "AL Bundles" album Kiss from a Razor. AL Bundles and GRAND EYE EL Flow perfectly over another Max Burstein production previously known as AER MAX from The Bronx. Al Bundles also contacted G.E.E to uproot a concept which you can see seeding in his album cover art where AL Bundles lays tracks about relationships, street knowledge, story tell and sharp MCing that is Chefs kiss that will leave you bleeding to want more. Another project you can catch by G.E.E is a collab project with East New York, Brooklyns own Mellow NYC "Diamond Minds" on Bandcamp. A pure progression of concepts, wisdom and barring off styles that is nothing short of Godly elements over ChillonDaviz production. You can catch GRAND EYE EL on IG where you’ll find other links connected to all under "ARTREFLECTSGOD" his other moniker. Also catch his Freestyle on Chinatownsound, a channel showcasing rappers skills in acapella form now connected with ROC NATION created by digital creator Gee and Brooklyns own BUB STYLES in which GRAND EYE EL stemmed his uprising in notoriety.
