BRANDON GRINDZ

Brandon Grindz is a rapper from Boston, a graduate of East Boston High School per his own Facebook profile. An early documentary posted on his then-channel, PASEoTV (circa 2014), describes him as “born in Boston, Massachusetts.” Boom Bap Nation, a Boston hip-hop outlet, described him on February 28, 2023 as raised in the city of Boston, with parents carrying Southern-US roots.

He also works as a clothing designer for the brand Astrada'Naire Clothing — a tie independently confirmed on both his Facebook profile and his Instagram bio.

Between November 2022 and February 2023, Boom Bap Nation documented a series of community events Brandon Grindz organized in Brockton, Massachusetts: a holiday sidewalk giveaway, a back-to-school drive, and a baby-shower donation.

His verified catalog begins with appearances on two compilations: Who Put Massachusetts on the Map? Vol. 1 (2019) and Boston Made ME, with “Popping” (feat. KristaDiamond, Brandon Grindz and Mr SoBoston, 2020). In 2022 he released a run of Apple Music singles — “Mental Depression M.D.A,” “Be Quiet Inda Trap,” “Bye Bye Bye,” “Get ya Mind Right” (with Kay Wattz), “Ghetto Rose” (with Exit Fame), “Give Me a Reason” and “Safe House” (with Kay Wattz) — and was a featured artist on “C.F.T.B.,” from the album Only One.

In 2023 he was a featured artist on Smyly Sickwitit's “At It Again (Remix),” alongside Edo. G and University617 — both already documented in this archive. In 2024 he appeared on Jayson Globain's “Watermelon Ice Vape” and released “Too Many,” directed by Clips Films, his most-viewed video to date.

May 2026 was his most prolific documented month: he released the singles “ZaZa,” “Undisputed Kingz,” “Rumorz,” and “Bout Dat Time” (with Charlie Clips), along with the mixtape Trapp'n Up North. On August 16, 2026 he released Black Summer, a 12-track album that includes “Mayor Wu,” a reference to Boston's mayor. His most recent release, “6am In Boston,” came out August 25, 2026, directed by Clips Films — the same directing credit that appears throughout Boom Bap Nation's press coverage since 2022.
