Grade A(@Gradeakartiere) is one of the top acts out of his section of Cleveland. After growing up on the east side of Cleveland, he had no choice but to fight. He was coming up as an 80's baby is not easy for anyone. His laser focus on music is a testament to his discipline after prison. When Grade A was young, he was still respected like the older kids. He had a challenging relationship with his stepfather. Therefore, he spent a lot of time in his room isolated. That time alone helped him turn into a musical savant.
Cleveland, Ohio, is a city that isn't the most friendly. You have to earn respect. His single "Picasso Flow" speaks to why many people appreciate him and his work. Grade A has always had money; therefore, he doesn't want to compare himself to most rappers. He is the real deal and is battle-tested in the streets. Today, he is a philanthropist, a father, and a man of integrity. Not much will stop him from being the best version of himself. Grade A is coming off the success of his Babyface Ray-assisted LP, 'Wit Out Furtha Ado.' 2022 is looking to be a year that he breaks out of his shell. His latest performance on Flowers showed his ability as a lyricist.
