We are welcoming the new year with a new Boundless Radio mix for you guys. A weekend blizzard storm
couldn’t stop resident DJ Teddy King from finishing up our latest installment of Boundless Radio.
This week’s show features guest DJ Geng Grizzly
who also just recently had a feature on Teddy’s second Nas Mixtape
l No Ideas Original l. Thanks goes out to Tes Uno for
finalizing the mix.
Geng Grizzly’s Fast Life off of No Ideas Original.

BLESS: Introduce yourself – who you is and what u does and why you does it?
GG: The name’s Geng-Grizzly…some may have heard Genghis…that’s cool too. I was born and
bred in a still-pretty-rotten New York City, which was definitely ill…but also kinda fucked up. A
while back, a buncha kids in pink wigs probably meant an insatiable thirst for
that Crazy Eddie, thirst enough over which to commit a violent act or two. But shout
out to the old record spots, auto-reverse decks, and uptown limo bags.
Whatever though, I seriously chose music over a lot of other shit. My early 80’s household was
a mix of my pops’ classic hard rock and Motown records, plus radio stations like WBLS. I soon
discovered Mr. Magic & Marley, as well as Uncle Ralph’s Video Music Box show,
and went full-steam ever since. By the ‘95, I had ran through my pops’ record collection,
started making beats with a (shitty) Roland JS30 sampler and two tape decks and
saved up enough to graduate from Gemini belt-driven joints to a pair of 1200’s. I used
to write rhymes in class (black & white Composition Book steez) and I was trash. My man
Monster Tage made me a believer and I got me an Akai MPC 2000 in ‘98. Today, I produce,
spin records, and do other things.
BLESS: Tell us about your selections on this radio show?
GG: Well, I wanted to really focus on the concept behind the brand’s name…what is Boundless?
How can one truly quantify that with one little audio file? Okay, no, the mix is just my answer
to all of the wild cunt-faggot, half-human, pussy shit that is flooding the market these days.
It’s also a nod to all the true school, aggro skaters and riders who thrash to anything,
so long as it has an edge.
BLESS: And what’s next for our man Grizzly?
GG: Definitely another mix or two FOR Boundless coming in a month or so (as well as something
to throw up on my Soundcloud page). One mix will definitely be called Backpack Fulla Felonies,
and it’ll be nothin’ but hard, street corner shit from the golden era
of that type of rap. Also, expect production work for my peoples Harlem Boog, Mumz,
Maffew Ragazino, Action Bronson, Tes-Uno, and definitely some others whom I’ve been in talks with.
Expect other tricks up the sleeve too. Read Purple Tape Pedigree…I’ve got a solid team with me and
we don’t play around with that weak shit.
