Legendary lyricist Grand Daddy I.U. returns to the game with his first ever independent masterpiece. Recognized by many as one of the truest street rap superstars alive – this project is set to showcase some of the most rugged, powerful, heat-rock lyrics and production displayed by an artist of any caliber in years. A prophetic emcee, way before his time – I.U. has more than enough classic material to his credit; not to mention being one of Hip Hop's first and most successful ghost writers for other artists.
Grand Daddy's ‘Stick To The Script' promises to have people talking about this underground legend once again. With production credits by the likes of Marco Polo, Large Pro, DJ Doom and Chuckie Madness – most of the production was put down by I.U. himself. With guest appearances by 2 Pac (never heard before lyrics), Pudgee ‘Tha Phat Bastard' and others – get ready for a street banger that will have you feeling the past, present and future.
GRAND DADDY I.U. BIOGRAPHY
Born in Queens and raised in Hempstead, I.U. grew up around music and was exposed to all different genres. When Hip Hop emerged, he was automatically attracted and was a natural on the Mic. Joining rhyme ciphers on the street corners, jail yards and eventually the studio – he made a demo with the encouragement of his brother, DJ Kay Cee, and got signed to Cold Chillin’ Records. After joining the label that introduced Juice Crew All-Stars like Biz Markie, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Roxanne Shante’, MC Shan and more… I.U. made his mark as Artist and songwriter.
GRAND DADDY I.U. - THE MACK OF THE YEAR
The First Album Smooth Assasin was released in 1990. With joints like “Something New”, “Sugar Free” and “Girl In The Mall.” In 1994, I.U. dropped his second Album entitled Lead Pipe; Joints “Represent”, “Don’t Stress Me” and “Slinging Bass” had the East Coast underground Hip Hop scene wanting more. After a long hiatus and years in the cut, he's back! Producing and still writing hot music like he never left; I.U. has an extensive catalog of Hip Hop beats that rival any hot Producer in the game today. With hundreds of tracks ready for production, Grand Daddy is now being sought out by several independent and major labels alike.
