About Me

Born in Atlanta, GA., raised in Newport "Bad Newz" News, VA., Jermaine "Germ Yo Skeetie Maine" Grayson has been putting it down since 1992 on the Bad Newz Underground rap scene with his childhood friends and rap crew N.O.V.A. (apart of the Cru Thik/ Die-nasty Raidaz movenent) . Germ was a fixture in Bad Newz due to the notoriety of N.O.V.A.'s street albums, "Dex Dynasty", the Iron Kurtain/Cru Thik compilation "Dynasty Raidaz: The Gimmicks Over", along with a slew of features on many other artist albums and mixtapes. After losing a number of comrades, to the grave and jail, doing a number of juvenile, state, and federal sentences, Germ relocated to Toledo "Glass City" OH. in 2005 to focus on his family and solo music career. With the help of Toledo bred underground producer Keno Alums (Alumenated Music), Germ released two street albums; "The One and Only" (2007) and "Go Hard or Go Home"(2008)to critical street acclaim on the underground hip hop scene. In the recent years, after departing from Alumenated Music, Germ has released his latest mixtapes, "Hella Hungry the mixtape volume one" and "Mr. Mason Dixxie Presents... "Daddy Sweet Pockets" which are currently online on youtube,
reverbnation, facebook,myspace,imradio.com,soundclick.com,blackplanet, and twitter @skeetiemaine. Along with LayGray Music business partner Dave "DeeLay" Latham, Germ Yo Skeetie Maine is pushing forward, blazing trails through the hip hop scene, gaining supporters and fans everywhere.

My On Tha Corner Grind Music
On Tha Corner Grind Music is my interpretation of street life placed to ghetto made beats. It's a collection of very vivid descriptions (songs) of many different occurences that can happen in any inner city in America. This is exactly what I offer every time I step in a recording booth with intentions of handling my business. I've been making this style of hip hop for as long as I can remember being interested in becoming a rap artist. Being raised during the Regan Administration (the crack era) and taking to the streets myself during the early 90's as a teenager,I am giving my personal thoughts, feelings, and experences to the public at large as cautionary entertainment. I make no excuses for the things I write or record, because I haven't made any excuses for the mistakes or misdeeds I've done in reality ( I've had to pay a few debts to society, and I have lost almost all of my childhood friends ). So when you listen to my music don't expect it to be that of a role model, or to uplift the world, because I can only do that through my actions. Yall have to raise and be parents to your own children people. If you are angry with or against my stories/music, don't listen to On Tha Corner Grind Music. Because I refuse to apologize for me expressing what I and others like myself (call us what you want to) have been through (and still going through). But if you want to take a trip through this sess pool we call the streets without having to get wet, come on and get yourselves some of this On Tha Corner Grind Music!!!
