Kyle Thomas Clow, known professionally as Grip is an American hip hop musician from the Eastside of Atlanta, Georgia.
His debut project was Porch. His followup full length album was Snubnose.
Grip signed a deal with Shady Records and Interscope Records in 2021. His first full length album with Shady, I Died for This!? dropped shortly after, featuring collaborations Eminem, Kenny Mason, and Wiley From Atlanta. His music can be heard in Euphoria, Boomerang, Good Girls, Madden NFL '20 soundtrack, and most recently[when?] in Bose's earbud campaign.
Career
[edit]When Clow entered middle school, he began rapping, citing T.I.'s 2003 album Trap Muzik as being the inspiration for him to pursue rapping.
On November 2, 2017 he released his first studio album, Porch, which featured 11 tracks. His second album, titled Snubnose was released on October 11, 2019.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he released two extended plays, Halo and Proboscidea.
In July 2021, Eminem listened to Grip's second album Snubnose. Eminem said: "It was really refreshing to hear a new artist so focused on making a conceptual project and it caught my attention."[1] The two artists met up and conversed about a record deal for Clow to join on Eminem's label Shady Records. Grip announced his third studio album, and the first under Shady Records, titled I Died for This!?, which was released in August 27, 2021.[1]
