Grown Folks is a hip hop group from Richmond, VA. The group consists of 2 members; producer Dox-1 (Wordsworth “Trust”, Pumpkinhead “2 Rude” and “Payperview”, Boogieman “Big Boogie”, Da Ranjhaz “High Off of Mescaline” and others) and emcee MicSource (most notably “In the Game” featuring Skillz). The chemistry between the 2 is undeniable on their 2005 mixtape “It is What it is.” This was acknowleged in many of the mixtape’s reviews including ones from okayplayer.com and ragomagazine.com (UK). With the praise from “IIWII”, the group went onto complete their highly anticipated album entitled “Child’s Play.” Complete with guests appearances from Phil Da Agony, Skyzoo, Darien Brockington, K-Hill, Buff 1 (Athletic Mic League) and others, the album proves the need for a group that can deliver heat with substance. Whether approaching topics that the adult listener can actually empathize with (“Family Man”, “Sunday”) or just throwing darts (“No More” featuring Phil Da Agony, “Bang Ish”), Grown Folks assert themselves as a needed commodity in a hip hop world of guns, pimps, hustlers and hoes. There is more to the world than the aforementioned topics, and the group makes this clear. The future is bright, and the call is yours. Let’s not just talk about what the game needs…let’s make it happen.
