Despite having yet to release a studio album, support for Grafh and his music has been overwhelming – both among fans and within the music industry. His songs have been featured on HBO’s Entourage, Fox’s Meth and Red, BET’s Ultimate Hustler and in a number of video games, including EA Sport’s NFL Streets, Saint’s Row, and 25 to Life. Grafh has also been heavily supported by his peers, including Drake, Raekwon, Bun B, Jim Jones, Busta Rhymes, Waka Flocka, and many others. Grafh was surprised, however, when actor Shia LaBeouf said he was “really, really, really good” in a late-night TV interview with Carson Daly. This sense of appreciation has motivated Grafh to stay true to his fans while touring and releasing new music online via his official website, GrafhOnline.com. He has also built a strong following on Twitter, where he applies an entertaining combination of sharp humor and brutal honesty to everyday life.
Grafh is currently focused on completing his debut studio album. Over the last year, he has built a team of young, talented creatives that are working with him toward the album’s release. Chaz Williams, fellow Black Hand alum who’s been involved in Grafh’s career since day one, is also working on the album. Grafh has redefined his sound – drawing inspiration from multiple genres – and has made a concerted effort to be more emotionally candid. The result has been the best music of Grafh’s career, with more songs still to record. With this album, Grafh hopes to prove that he’s more than just raw talent. He has set out to challenge the labels that have been put on him as an artist – to push his own boundaries musically, lyrically, and visually. Just as he did at the start of his career, Grafh plans to let the music speak for itself.

Look
Y'all don't know what to do when
I show you the blueprint
I ain't water it down 'cause I
Didn't know you was stupid
You searchin' online for the truth that
I can show it and prove
I don't gotta post it to prove it (I don't)
I know how to cock it
I know how to load it and shoot it
I'm alkaline water amongst all
The sodas and juices
You went from what's crackin'
To what's poppin'
I beat a body, then go gun shoppin'
You're scared of the dark, my nigga
You sun-blockin' i'm hotheaded
My tongue dropped in a plug socket
Take your lung, pop it, then I lunchbox it
(Ow) i jump shot it and double-pump rockets
'til my blood clot blood-clottin'
Fuck stoppin'
Your man got jumped, he was just watchin'
I left your body in the trunk rottin'
House niggas never pluck cotton
I'm just boxed in jabbin', I'm just boxin'
Jumped up, dodgin'
I'm from where Santa Claus ain't
Never come stuff stockings
You hustle or play ball
Those are fucked up options
I just fucked memory lane up drunk drivin'
What? What? What could y'all do to me?
My ex tryna put a hex on me, voodoo me
This heavy artoolery
Strapped with the semi harpoonery
I'm multitaskin'
Lookin' at your chain' while I'm
Googlin' where to pawn jewelry
I ain't with the tomfoolery
I'm Huey P in the wrong community
All my laundry is Louis V
I burned a Moncler, Prada, and Gucci tee
Inside a eulogy, I'd rather you to me
Partner
When the shots fly and the rain falls
It's a homicide, tell me, who can you call?
When it's all lies, you can be right or wrong
It can be you or me
Who's ever with on the draw
Mama, pray for me just pray for me, uh
Ayy
You got shooters layin' all in
Your bushes and grass
Waitin' for you so they can
Be took to the cash
Got you openin' your safe and
Got you pullin' out cash
And you know what happen next when
They pull up his mask
Nigga, the muzzle flash and
The bullet'll pass through your melon
Your whole shit gettin' put on the glass
Robbery gone bad, news bulletin flash
I laugh 'cause I'm the nigga
That put up the bag
Yeah, I'ma be straight as long as
My mama pray for me
If you gon' be around, you gotta spray for me
Uh, gotta be solid all the way for me
Real nigga
That's somethin' you ain't gotta say for me
(You already know what time it is)
My resume'll vouch (Uh)
You was never straight
You ain't never weigh an ounce (Ha)
I'm with your bitch
'bout to penetrate her mouth (Huh?)
I give the word
A nigga finna spray your house
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)
Motherfucker
The lyrics to Grafh's song "Rain Falls" reflect a sense of confidence and assertiveness. Grafh starts off by acknowledging that he possesses knowledge and insight that others may lack, referring to it as a "blueprint." He expresses his refusal to dumb down his content for those who may not understand. Instead, he delivers the truth through his music. Grafh also highlights his mastery of weaponry, comparing himself to alkaline water, a pure and powerful force amidst the ordinary. Metaphorically, he asserts that he stands out among the crowd and is capable of defending himself and his craft.
Furthermore, Grafh references his knack for violence, boasting about his ability to handle a firearm and showcasing his aggression. He emphasizes his dominance by suggesting that he leaves bodies in the trunk to decompose. This violent imagery juxtaposes with his remark about house slaves never picking cotton, indicating a juxtaposition of historical and present-day struggles. Grafh takes pride in his boxing skills and evades danger, ultimately highlighting his resilience.
The chorus of the song focuses on the unpredictability and danger of life. Grafh suggests that when it rains and shots are fired, it becomes a critical moment where one must decide on whom to rely. He uses the metaphor of rain symbolizing trouble or conflict, and the necessity for finding someone trustworthy during such times.

Didn't know you was stupid
I didn't realize you lacked intelligence

I'm better and stand out
The sodas and juices
Amongst everything else
You went from what's crackin'
You transitioned from being interested in active events
To what's poppin'
To what's currently popular
I beat a body, then go gun shoppin'
I commit a murder, then go buy guns
You're scared of the dark, my nigga
You're afraid of the unknown, my friend
You sun-blockin'
You're blocking out the light
I'm hotheaded
I have a hot temper
My tongue dropped in a plug socket
My speech is electric and powerful
Take your lung, pop it, then I lunchbox it
Take your breath away, in a sense
(Ow) I jump shot it and double-pump rockets

Your man got jumped, he was just watchin'
Your companion got attacked while just observing
I left your body in the trunk rottin'
I abandoned your dead body in the trunk to decompose
House niggas never pluck cotton
Subservient individuals never pick cotton
I'm just boxed in jabbin'
I'm limited but still making progress
I'm just boxin'
I'm fighting against my limitations
Jumped up, dodgin'
Suddenly stood up and evading
I'm from where Santa Claus ain't
I'm from a place where Santa Claus doesn't exist
Never come stuff stockings
Never fills up stockings with gifts
You hustle or play ball
You either work hard or play basketball
Those are fucked up options
Those are terrible choices
I just fucked memory lane up drunk drivin'
I just disrupted the nostalgic past while intoxicatedly driving
What? What? What could y'all do to me?
What? What? What harm can you inflict on me?
My ex tryna put a hex on me, voodoo me
My former partner attempting to curse or harm me
This heavy artoolery
This powerful weaponry
Strapped with the semi harpoonery
Armed with partially effective weapons
I'm multitaskin'
I'm handling multiple tasks simultaneously
Lookin' at your chain' while I'm
Observing your valuable jewelry while I'm
Googlin' where to pawn jewelry
Searching on Google for the best place to sell jewelry
I ain't with the tomfoolery
I'm not interested in foolishness
I'm Huey P in the wrong community
I'm like Huey P Newton in a community that doesn't appreciate it
All my laundry is Louis V
All my clothes are high-end designer brands
I burned a Moncler, Prada, and Gucci tee
I disposed of expensive clothing from Moncler, Prada, and Gucci
Inside a eulogy, I'd rather you to me
Within a tribute, I'd rather you be like me
When the shots fly and the rain falls
When bullets are fired and it starts raining
It's a homicide, tell me, who can you call?
It's a murder, tell me, who can you rely on?
When it's all lies, you can be right or wrong
When everything is deceitful, you can either be correct or mistaken
It can be you or me
It can be either you or me
Who's ever with on the draw
Whoever is prepared to take action
Mama, pray for me just pray for me, uh
Mother, pray for me, just pray for me
You got shooters layin' all in
You have armed individuals hiding all throughout
Your bushes and grass
Your plants and yard
Waitin' for you so they can
Waiting for you so they can
Be took to the cash
Be taken to collect money
Got you openin' your safe and
Got you opening your secure storage box and
Got you pullin' out cash
Got you taking out money
And you know what happen next when
And you know what happens next when
They pull up his mask
They remove their disguise
Nigga, the muzzle flash and
Man, the gun's flash and
The bullet'll pass through your melon
The bullet will penetrate your head
Your whole shit gettin' put on the glass
Your entire life is being exposed
Robbery gone bad, news bulletin flash
A failed robbery, news reports flash
I laugh 'cause I'm the nigga
I laugh because I'm the one
That put up the bag
Who provided the money
Yeah, I'ma be straight as long as
Yeah, I'll be fine as long as
My mama pray for me
My mother prays for me
If you gon' be around, you gotta spray for me
If you're going to be present, you must defend me
Gotta be solid all the way for me
You must be loyal and committed to me
Real nigga
Authentic individual
That's somethin' you ain't gotta say for me
That's something you don't need to express for me
(You already know what time it is)
(You already understand the situation)
My resume'll vouch (Uh)
My reputation will verify (Uh)
You was never straight
You were never honest
You ain't never weigh an ounce (Ha)
You never measured an ounce (Ha)
I'm with your bitch
I'm with your partner
'Bout to penetrate her mouth (Huh?)
About to engage in oral sex with her (Huh?)
I give the word
I give the command
A nigga finna spray your house
A person is about to shoot at your house
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)
(Sound of gunshots)
