DON’T SLEEP: Grap Luva “Neva Done EP” [NEW PROJECT]

Grap Luva is known as the younger brother of Pete Rock but he’s a Hip Hop veteran and legend in his own right. He got his start in the game and his name from Heavy D (R.I.P.), went through “Pete Rock Boot Camp” on the SP 1200. Produced numerous classics and spit several classic verses. Not only that but Grap Luva is also a part of InI whose heavily bootlegged album (although it’s not even the official version of the project) is considered a classic as well.

Here he is, back with the “Neva Done EP” which features production from Kev Brown, Joc Max, Damu The Fudgemunk & several instrumental from Grap Luva himself. You can cop it on vinyl, CD or in digital form from iTunes, Amazon, Fat Beats, UGHH or any other reputable digital music marketplace. Don’t sleep!
