At 23, Grossman stands out in the city’s alternative rap scene. He mixes rap, pop, punk, rock, and emo in ways that don’t fit the usual boxes. There’s an energy to his work that speaks to listeners who want something honest and unfiltered. His style—sonically and visually—sidesteps easy labels. Instead, he leans into whatever feels true, making each release feel unpredictable and hard to pin down.
Grossman isn’t chasing viral moments or streaming numbers. He seems focused on carving out a path for independent artists who care about making music on their own terms. His work gives permission to experiment, to set aside the pressure to fit a mold, and to risk something original.
This latest drop, “FREESTYLE,” has been making noise for good reason. It runs just over three minutes, but Grossman wastes no time, letting loose over the “I’m Back” instrumental with sharp, unapologetic verses and a kind of energy that refuses to hold back.
If you know Grossman’s recent music, you might remember his more melodic side. This time, he swings the other way, pulling from the raw approach that helped him build his core audience. The track is blunt, explicit, and, in parts, almost reckless—he sounds like he’s right where he wants to be.
There’s a new look, too. Grossman has kicked off what he’s calling his ‘Alien Era,’ showing up in a green ski mask, loud outfits, a snapback, and a distinct alien visor. The style matches the sound: wild, unpredictable, impossible to ignore.
Fans are already calling this one of his most hard-hitting, controversial performances yet. Social feeds are filled with reactions—praise, debate, and everything in between. Grossman isn’t interested in consensus. He’s leaning into the friction, making it clear he won’t play by anyone else’s rules.
Moments like this show exactly what Grossman can do when he tunes out the noise and trusts his instincts. He’s not chasing trends or trying to appease the mainstream—he’s making controversial, uncompromising art on his own terms.
“FREESTYLE” is streaming everywhere now. If you want to hear what going all-in sounds like, give it a listen.
