Breaking Bud: GRiZ Launches Line of Custom Cannabis Strains
A friend with weed is a friend indeed, and GRiZ is taking his best buds national with the launch of two premium cannabis lines. Let’s be blunt: the strain of the pandemic is brutal for many. And if GRiZ’s last album somehow didn’t toke your breath away (sorry, can’t help these puns), his new custom weed will. GRiZ has announced the sale of two brands: the THC-focused Astro Hippie and the CBD line Telescope. The former, an homage to DIY stoner culture that will soon debut in GRiZ’s home state of Michigan, is described as a potent series of flower strains designed for “experimenters” who want to blast off. Many believe weed is a love language, and Astro Hippie, GRiZ says, is a billet-doux to the cannabis c...
Creation, Conflict and Clarity: My Metaphysical Journey to “Rainbow Brain”
I suppose that behind every story, there is a story within itself. Every body of work has its own life to it. The inspiration, birth, creation, struggle, moments of clarity, release into the world… And if the creator gets lucky, their story becomes a living narrative that is retold over time. And time is a funny thing to me. An unfolding of the ever-present current moment wherein all projections of past and future might be manifested into the eternal now. This is now. This is a story of what was, what might be, and can only exist right now. This is a time machine of words and ideas where we can use the present moment to travel anywhere and to any moment: the stream of consciousness that we all flow into each other. This is my busy mind making nonsense of spirituality. This is my struggle t...

GRiZ Announces New 23-Track Album “Rainbow Brain”: Listen to a Preview
Since the release of his debut album, 2011’s End of the World Party, GRiZ has apparently never taken a break. His dogged work ethic has clearly not relented after the announcement of his 7th album, which is due out later in the month of July. Titled Rainbow Brain, the record, GRiZ said, pays homage to the bass music icons before him.
