Mf Grimm
Biography
A promising career in hip-hop evaded the Manhattan-born rapper MF Grimm after his tragic shooting in the early '90s. Confined to a wheelchair, the man who gave MF Doom his "MF" prefix eventually became a mover and shaker in New York's independent rap scene as founder and CEO of his own label and international distribution company, Day by Day Entertainment. Before he joined the fast-paced vigor of street life, Grimm (born Percival Carey) was an avid skateboarder and actually graced the television screen as a child actor on Sesame Street. He started to take the rap game seriously when he turned 14. Calling himself the Grimm Reaper, he formed one-half of the Gravediggaz (different from the RZA/Prince Paul group of the same name) with Roc Raida from the X-Ecutioners. Grimm recorded with or performed on-stage next to some of the industry's finest: Kool G Rap, KRS-One, and 2Pac, just to name a few. He was originally supposed to have a guest verse on Main Source's landmark posse cut "Live at the BBQ" but missed out on the opportunity because he was temporarily in jail; the verse later appeared on his first 12" single, "So Whatcha Want Nigga?," in 1993.
