After one or two reviews of Uche Anosike’s motif (better known as Che Grand in this setting) some may believe he’s discovered a way to positively twist schizophrenic patterns and put it on exhibition. Living the early part of his life similar to a hoi polloi army brat, Che only had one destination in mind the whole time; New York City.
Fueled by the saying that persistently buzzed in his ear from English private school playgrounds and later to dingy after-hour nights clubs in the boondocks of Virginia - “if you could make it in NYC you could make it anywhere” Che is determined to squeeze truth from the phrase by fusing the experiences of his travels with the ideal score of the day.
Landing 2004 in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, a place immortalized on record by some of his most notable hip hop influences of present day (Biggie Smalls, Mos Def and Jay –Z to name a few) Che has been undergoing an intense training course in life, the kind that makes and breaks many. Heavily promoting his name through various Internet resources and releasing several mixtapes to build up anticipation.
Che Grand began to see a few fruits of his labor in 2006 after the critically acclaimed digital EP “Official Bootleg Import.” Released thru the San Francisco based Loud Minority Music imprint also responsible for the breakthrough “Moonlighting” album by group Tanya Morgan, Che’s EP would help create the increasingly growing buzz with two rich yet polar opposite songs “Gold Chains” and “Trainspotting.” Both songs managed to depict the artist’s slightly avant-garde way of dealing with everyday situations.
Following up the EP with his April 2007 “The Fixtape” mix alongside DJ Low Key, Che Grand realized just how much of an audience he had been pulling when in only two months over 95,000 people responded to “The Fixtape” free download offer on various websites.
Now with the ceremonious debut album, “Everything’s Good Ugly” almost ready to be unveiled and several features also under the belt, Che Grand is busily resting assured that he is nearing closer to making it in New York City, and everywhere else too.
