Under the alias Jon Hope, Grigsby’s ability to illustrate street episodes and empower the have nots has garnered him critical acclaim worldwide. His growing catalogue of independent albums and visual content spans over a decade and positioned him as one of the brightest stars to emerge from New England. He has collaborated with the likes of Grammy award winning producer Bongo ByTheWay, Roc Nation/ShowOff DJ Statik Selektah, and a featured guest on the legendary Sway in the Morning Show with host Sway Calloway.

In 2017, the Providence, Rhode Island native released Savage Beauty EP that debuted high on the itunes indie Hip Hop chart and spawned the anthemic “ChamPain” and socially pulsating ‘Eat.’ The six track offering extended into a tour and content placement and partnerships with various brands.
