Manifest Destiny is the music that debuts freshman rapper Be Living Motivation GRIPAZEEM, or simply BLM GRIPAZEEM. The project is expected to be released on all digital platforms before May 2023. According to Spangled, Manifest Destiny is the pursuit of amassing vast wealth, and the project will be released for May 2023. The project artwork is inspired by the illustration work of @binty_art (instagram) and with contributions from musicians 2MarchBaby and Wacks Doe.



At Spangled, we understand the importance of manifestation along with speaking things in to existence. We hold the western philosophy of existentialism in high-esteem. Therefore, historical events such as the Peculiar Institution (slavery) or the Trail of Tears (ethnic cleansing) only serve as patterned prophecies if you allow them to. We associate Manifest Destiny with the law of attraction. We wish to grapple with the individual, generational and historical trauma that humankind may face.



BLM GRIPAZEEM is a London rapper intent on transforming the meaning behind pre-existing notions of dominion by imperial powers, but also the subject of placing inferiority on to others because of their protected characteristics. In this example the protected characteristic at hand is race. Manifest Destiny is originally a term often credited to newspaper editor John Sullivan.



What is Manifest Destiny? According to History.com it is ‘a phrase coined in 1845, is the idea that the United States is destined—by God, its advocates believed—to expand its dominion and spread democracy and capitalism across the entire North American continent’. According to KhanAcademy.org it is ‘the idea that white Americans were divinely ordained to settle the entire continent of North America. The ideology of Manifest Destiny inspired a variety of measures designed to remove or destroy the native population’. According to Brittanica.com it ‘is the supposed inevitability of the continued territorial expansion of the boundaries of the United States westward to the Pacific and beyond’.

Grooves that could have come out of the 1970s flow under yet another lyrical song tapestry, that takes you places in your head to chill and reflect.  In case it’s not obvious, the title refers to the famous London taxicab, in a song about fear and love and finding solace in something you know probably isn’t good for you.  The 4th track of Frank coming 3rd album, Patent Leather Car takes a gentle trip around the dance floor with wistful abandon.

DF118: Dead but beautiful 
32 tracks D maj

Attired in purple crimson velvet 
dead but beautiful
loved your record collection: 
T Rex, Yes, Zep and Tull

You made us laugh and we admired 
the clothes you chose to wear
were we in wonder when you
did what we wouldn’t dare

Dead but beautiful 
dead but beautiful 
dead but beautiful 

You touched us with your presence 
so sad that now you’ve gone
you’ll be in our memories though
it’s not where you belong

Others found you difficult 
but maybe they got you wrong
for it’s not them but you that’s
immortalised in song

Dead but beautiful 
dead but beautiful 
dead but beautiful 

Never ever made it back to you
never ever made it back to you
back to you

Though you’re not here now 
the legacy you leave behind
reminds us all of your 
awe inspiring mind

You had to do it one more time 
lay your life on the line
and then what you said to me 
was nothing but sublime

Dead but beautiful 
dead but beautiful 
dead but beautiful

Known affectionately as Gripz, his retrospective thoughts are of an innovative style of rap that’s both inventive and intellectual. BLM GRIPAZEEM is known for painting pictures with his words. He founded Gripping Records, a Spangled subsidiary, as vehicle to release his debut projects ‘Manifest Destiny’. Manifest Destiny is dubbed the title of his first single and Extended Play (EP).
