Grand P

Born, Michael Akin-Wumi Popoola in 1979, he is the middle child of a Danish/Swedish mother and a Nigerian father with family roots in both Malmö, Sweden and Brooklyn, NY-USA. By the age of 19 Grand P was dropping exclusive freestyles and dominating the underground battle rhyme scene on the streets of Malmö. 
Grand P, aka Clarq Kenz is, without question, one of hip-hop’s best kept secrets. A consummate collaborator Grand P has worked with producer Buckwild  as well as Khrysis, an affiliate of the production crew The Away Team, Hall of Justice and Little Brother. Fellow artists who made guest appearances on his 2011 Essential, and 2013 Tranquility, 2015 Infinite, albums were also high-profile. They included rap veterans Keith Murray in “Word Up”, Shyheim of the Wu-Tang Clan in “A New Day” and Craig G in “Mic Check”. Rapper Big Pooh & Loidimo are impressive in “Hold On,” and he drops a blazing hot track with Royce Da 5’9 titled “Bad Guys”.
