Grand Nationxl
Originally conceived as a super collective, Grand Nationxl blended diverse talents and perspectives into a symphony of creativity. GNXL epitomized community and innovation in the Bay Area hip-hop scene.
As the collective evolved, it underwent a transformation, refining its essence to a core group of artists, each bringing their unique flair and expertise to the table. With Kevin Allen (Erk tha Jerk), Mani Draper, Passwurdz, and Brookfield Duece at the helm, Grand Nationxl entered a new era of artistic exploration.
In 2024, Grand Nationxl emerged from a period of introspection and strategic planning, unveiling their surprise mixtape, GRXCE. This offering serves as a wolf howl, introducing their NeoMobb sound, reigniting the flames of creativity and vibes that had lain dormant during their focus on building the collective's branding and marketing division.
GRXCE is more than just a collection of tracks; it's a narrative woven from the threads of experience and resilience. Themed around the idea of the journey and restoring the feeling we got from the Bay Area legends of the 1990’s and early 2000’s, the mixtape invites listeners to embrace the twists and turns of life with grace, both for others and themselves. Through introspective lyrics and captivating production by Kevin Allen, AKA Frank, Mani Draper, Bravo Domo, Grand Nationxl explores the many forms that grace can take, recognizing the individuals who deliver it along the way.
Featuring collaborations with AKAFRANK, Heirmax Jordan, Lauren Dupree, and Sleazeee, GRXCE showcases the collective's commitment to the slide, cementing their status as trailblazers and the innovators of NeoMobb in the ever-evolving landscape of Bay Area hip-hop.
Grand Nationxl's journey is far from over. As they continue to push boundaries and defy expectations, they invite listeners to join them on this exhilarating ride, where every twist and turn is met with unwavering grace and boundless creativity.
