Some of my favorite rap albums are Grouch albums. He’s come a long way from the mid 90s rapping about his bad experiences with females who didn’t love Grouch for Grouch. Haven’t heard Show You The World yet but I’m looking forward to at least a few new Grouch songs to bump in the spring and summer.
Here are a few of my favorite Grouch songs, Peace to Richoner [Thanks Lucy!]

THE GROUCH – SHOW YOU THE WORLD
(04.08.08, Legendary Music)
On his first solo record in five years, The Grouch offers his usual well thought out, yet straight forward rhymes. But his production is more varied, sophisticated and polished than ever before.
“I worked on this record for almost three years,” notes The Grouch of how he’s developed as an artist. More, this record was an idea that sprang to mind after the birth of my daughter, Rio, in 2006. As soon as she arrived all I could do is think about wanting to show her everything that I love. I was quickly humbled when I realized I was learning as much from her as she was from me.”
