We've only just came across Grieves, who seems to have been dropping releases independently for a while but has his first album for Slug's Rhymesayers label dropping soon. We just got the 3rd single 'On The Rocks' through and we've been bumping it hard. His rhymes remind us of his label boss but that's not necessarily a bad thing in our eyes, plus he backs them up with a laid back bluesy soul singing style, kinda like a more credible, less gangsta Domino (whatever happened to him?)... kinda.
