A few songs from Together/Apart
My first notice of Grieves was years ago on his first album Irreversible, and for me, it was love at first listen. With his unique and unparalleled style and beats from talented producer Budo, I see Benjamin Laub, aka Grieves, as the future of hip hop. His buttery smooth voice translates into both singing and rapping, which sets him apart in the best way. And echoed through this voice are incredibly honest, thought-provoking lyrics that inspire true self reflection in their message. Through the heartfelt emotiveness, he maintains a certain coolness in the stories of his songs that will forever leave me wanting more. But this album is just the fix I need to tie me over for some time. Together/Apart is everything you need. The cover art, packaging design, the CD/DVD combo, and the tracks themselves come together as one conceptual piece of art. This boy knows what he's doing. And paired up with Budo for some beat magic, the album is on another level. Currently touring on the Van's Warped Tour, Grieves are Budo are rapidly expanding their fan base and successfully introducing hip hop to a swarm of indifferent rock fans. Buy this album like it's your own embarrassing sex tape and spread it like wildfire to every damn person you know.
