An independent legend, The Grouch is well known for being an original member of the California collective Living Legends, as well as his work as G & E (with Eligh of the Living Legends) and Zion I. His discography holds an amazing amount of underground hits that most Californians have probably heard at one time or another, including Silly Puddy (with Zion I), The Bay to L.A., Simple Man, Artsy, Night Prowler, and more, and keeps em coming with his latest single with Zion I, Leader. He recently dropped his new album, Three Eyes Off The Time, and is working with Zion I on their follow up to Heroes In The City Of Dope. Em Dub got a chance to talk to The Grouch in the Green Room at Shattuck Down Low after his show and he spoke about how he got his name, what is was like coming up in Oakland being a white rapper, his process for making a song, the most memorable song he’s ever made, how he started rapping, what Three Eyes Off The Time means, and much more.
Part 2 coming this Wednesday! Hit the jump to see a few of The Grouch’s most memorable videos…
