Focused’s Grime Sublime is an intimate, intricate rap act that links together intelligent wordplay with a backing instrumentation that links together 1990s New York with the Kanye-infused Chicago approach of the mid-2000s. Grind Sublime is one of those efforts that really need to be focused onto; the lyrics are such that listeners’ eyes and ears will be opened. The double duty of Focused here – the vocals and the additional harmonies of the track laid by them – ensures that he is steps beyond other lyricists at similar points during their career. Check out the video for Grind Sublime below the jump.
