Fess Grandiose
[C.O.F., The Kimball House]

Fess Grandiose, born and raised in South Side Chicago, began as a DJ at the age of 17. He quickly gained admiration for all that Hip-Hop music is and humbly embraced the art of MCing and beat making. Now at the age of 24, Fess can be deemed as a triple threat- MC/DJ/Producer. Where new school Hip-Hop meets vintage vibes, Fess brings something new to the industry- versatility. DJing his own set while performing is just part of his skills that sets him apart. Fess holds complete control of his music; from the lyrics, to production, down to the scratching. He prides himself on passionately staying true to Hip-Hop, while soulfully adding his own personal inspiration to his music. He is inspired by the old school likes of Jimi Hendrix, Parliament Funkadelic, Herby Hancock, and Led Zeppelin. Combined with the new school influences of Madlib, J Dilla, The Roots, and MF Doom, you'll be wondering what is to come next from this Hip-Hop extraordinaire.
