I'm the best artist alive... my time is near

Tee Grizzley laces his rhymes with the kind of stories usually reserved for the big screen. He holds nothing back as he honestly chronicles trials, tribulations, and triumphs on the streets of his native Detroit firsthand with a documentarian’s attention to detail. Back in 2016, he returned home from prison and took the first step on the road to redemption. His debut single “First Day Out” went quadruple-platinum as he expanded his catalog with the double-platinum “From the D to the A” [feat. Lil Yachty], and gold-certified hits “2 Vaults,” “Jetski Grizzley,” “No Effort,” and “Satish.” 2021’s Built For Whatever marked his third straight Top 20 debut on the Billboard 200, Top 10 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart, and Top 10 on the US Rap Albums Chart. In addition to praise from the likes of Pitchfork, The FADER, and many more, he has garnered support from JAY-Z and LeBron James, while Ari Melber graciously hosted him on MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber. He regularly streams GTA RP, Call of Duty and more, to over 1 million followers on Twitch. As a businessman, he runs Grizzley Gang Music to sign up and coming artists along with Grizzley Gang Gaming which hosts Grizzley World RP one of the most popular GTA RP servers. 2022’s visual album, Chapters of the Trenches, extended his viral “Robbery” video series and incited tastemaker applause with Billboard citing him as “Rap’s Martin Scorsese.” In its wake, he joined forces with Skilla Baby for the joint mixtape Controversy highlighted by “Gorgeous.” Now, he continues to captivate the next chapter out loud via his music—especially on his anxiously awaited 2023 fourth full-length solo album on 300 Entertainment/Grizzley Gang Music.

Delivering hedonistic and carnal lyrics against a hazy backdrop of pulsating trap beats and languid yet intensifying synth leads, Montana "Monty" Buckz is an MC and hip-hop/trap artist born in Trenton and raised in Paterson, New Jersey. The young rapper had a very early introduction to urban music, having listened to his mother freestyle as she went about her daily chores at home. During his early years at elementary school, Buckz and his brother began improvising rhymes and taking part in rap battles with friends in the neighborhood. As time went on, Monty began to steer closer to the idea of pursuing a career in hip-hop rather than just participating with it as a hobby, and co-founded the rap collective Remy Boyz 1738 (named after a premium Rémy Martin cognac) with friends like Fetty Wap . His determination, creativity, and unwavering desire for success only strengthened as the years went on. In particular, with the passing of his mother when he was just 17, Monty took it upon himself to forge ahead with an uncompromising work ethic and set out on a concrete path to success in the music industry. With help, advice, and inspiration from friends (particularly that of his Remy Boyz counterpart Fetty Wap), Monty's rhymes and MC skills burgeoned and became ever stronger. He began spending more time in recording studios in 2005, working with producers and engineers such as Brian "People's 456" Garcia (Kelly Clarkson, Zara Larsson). At this point, Remy Boyz didn't have an official release under their collective moniker -- instead, the boys went the route of putting out tracks as individual artists, featuring one another as guest artists on said tracks, with frequent shout-outs to "the Remy Boyz" as a referential toast to their start and heydays. 
Monty saw his big break in 2015 when he put out his first solo releases and accompanying videos, one of which was the hit "Extendo" featuring Fetty Wap, and in turn he featured on Wap's track "679" (Monty would go on to feature on nine of the 20 tracks on Wap's debut record). Consistent collaboration and multiple guest appearances on each other's tracks continued to materialize, with the Fetty Wap track "My Way" (featuring Monty, of course) skyrocketing and peaking at number seven on the Billboard 100 chart and number one on the Billboard rhythmic chart. He went on to put out the single "Cash Green" in the fall of 2015 under the Remy Boy Monty moniker, and followed up that Christmas with his debut record, Monty Zoo: The Mixtape, via underground hip-hop label Empire Distribution. As expected, the record featured Fetty Wap on many of its tracks, with production handled by trap legend Metro Boomin (Ludacris, Wiz Khalifa). The end of 2015 also saw Monty appear as a guest artist on Wap's seasonal track "Merry Xmas," before they released the collaborative track "Handgun" in time to promote their tour together the following year. Early 2016 saw Monty and Fetty Wap embark on the Welcome to the Zoo tour with rapper and singer/songwriter Post Malone. Monty went on to become the CEO of the Remy Boyz record imprint, signing other urban artists such as T.A.P. and Chaos. Monty released Monty Zoo, Vol. 2, the sequel to his debut record and mixtape, in 2017.
