MF Grimm on how life's adversities made him who he is

D2S Archives is a 2000's era Hip Hop time capsule that chronicles a culture at the brink of social media's reign, as well as the often under-appreciated Bay Area creative scene.
The team will be posting raw and uncut footage from Distortion 2 Static, known to Bay Area heads as D2S, a Hip Hop TV show on-air from 2001-2011 via local San Francisco broadcast networks. Footage includes a range of conversations with both chart-topping legends and underground kings. In a pre-KZbin world, when local television still had some clout, Distortion 2 Static used original programming to cover Hip Hop culture with a depth of knowledge and respect. D2S offered a mirror for its community to feel seen.

GRIMM is an amazing lyricist Underrated pen. No one can do what he does.

I’m reading his memoir and it brought me to tears several times. He’s a master story teller who’s been in the game since the beginning of hip hop culture. Grimm has a great heart and I him the very best.
