“Grip is the type of artist that brings you into his world and expresses himself through a complete composed body of work. If true album artists in this era are a rare breed- then Grip is a unicorn! We’re excited for him to join the Shady Records family,” says Paul Rosenberg.
“It was one of those full-circle moments because I grew up on Eminem so to have him reach out and let me know how dope my shit is was so cool. Excited to partner with Shady/Interscope and get the music out on a larger platform,” says GRIP.
Grip debuted back in 2017 with his album PORCH which received acclaim from the local Atlanta community. He later returned with his sophomore project Snubnose and put out a couple of EPs in 2020, Halo and PROBOSCIDEA. Back in February, he teased fans with the release of 2 albums in 2021.
Eminem and Shady Records took to social media to announce their newest signee, East Atlanta’s GRIP. GRIP also shared a picture of himself with Eminem in the studio.
Come On
Grip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stucco cave make me illi okay okay feel me
I'm in an eight high abandoned building
No daylight one midnight lamp lit twenty four seven
Murdered out windows two exits
Street or nosedive to the next life in seconds
And suicide ain't my stallion
So I'm surrounded
Fuck a Nazi
When the world comes knocking
Fuck the world fuck this body
Know it won't be long be now
Feel my nerves wet my brown
Mood in my tomb red moon heavy
Sling jaw shot out the window and yell
Come up and get me
I'm epiphanic amnesia
I'm in Jimmy Page's castle
I'm off the planet
Echo astral
Final lasso
The Sacto asshole
I'm not down for anything
Fuck around and say anything
My stone wall it's on dog gaze duct taped to the ceiling
Stucco cave make me illi okay okay feel me
I'm in an eight high abandoned building
No daylight one midnight lamp lit twenty four seven
Murdered out windows two exits
Street or nosedive to the next life in seconds
And suicide ain't my stallion
So I'm surrounded
Geiger count it not goin' out shits 'bout to get kamikaze
Fuck a Nazi
Come up and get me
My life is a fuck
Ain't one thing I don't hate
Tell me my times almost up
I will say I can't wait
Put your gun to my head
I'll blow smoke in your face
Think you got what it takes
Come up and get me
Can't tell hell in my head
Thirteenth bell am I dead
Or in asylum pill force fed
Lyin' to myself all by myself
Strapped down to my bed
Tongue cut out the mouth of reason
And chucked off the rivers edge
Think fast is it tear gas or fear masked
By figments of my fragmented mind
Who's my enemy them or me
Step to me and you'll die
Grand delusions magnified
Fuck the truth wastes my time
It's all good bet what's that
Footsteps on the stairs
Never could rest they're always there
Who are they? I don't care
I just know they're tryin' to X me
Give a fuck, come up and get me
The lyrics of Grip's song "Come On" depict a sense of hopelessness, isolation and paranoia experienced by the singer in an abandoned building. The stone wall and the duct tape on the ceiling give a sense of entrapment, a feeling that he can't escape the situation he's in. The abandoned building provides a sense of emptiness, which is amplified by the lack of daylight and only one midnight lamp lit twenty-four-seven. The murdered out windows and two exits all add up to the sense that the singer is on his own and is surrounded by danger. He feels as though suicide is not an option, although death is always imminent.
As the lyrics progress, we see the singer's state of mind deteriorate further into complete denial and rejection of reality. He imagines himself in Jimmy Page's castle, off the planet, and in a state of epiphanic amnesia. His only outburst, "Come up and get me" suggests a certain level of frustration and challenge. It's as though he is daring the oppressors to come and get him, suggesting that he is ready to face whatever is to come. His final lines "Give a fuck, come up and get me" show that he's given up on any hope of escape and is ready to face whatever consequences confront him.
The lyrics and the music of "Come On" have a deep sense of melancholy and depressive themes. It speaks of an individual who is dealing with internal turmoil, and the emotions of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty that come with it. The words provide a sense of rawness and absence of an idealistic outlook on life. Overall, "Come On" is a reflection of the complexities of the human experience.

I used to use an interlock grip. I am 65 and hurt the ring finger on my right hand this year. It was painful to swing with my old grip. I switched to a baseball grip mid year. WOW. I felt like I was hitting the ball much better. No noticeable distance on my woods but my irons went a bit further but, most noticeable to me was the bite the ball had now. I was getting spin I never experienced before. As I looked at my swing I realized that my wrists became more a part of my swing with the baseball grip than I ever experienced with the overlap. I seemed to be hitting the ball more square. But, as the season neared end here in PA, I started pulling my drives. I had always been a down the middle guy, not long. Now I was a left (pull) hitter and still not long. My average drive is down to 178 yards this year and playing from the senior tees made that acceptable.
@peterchild9431
Todd, Hello from Tulalip, WA. I love your approach and your videos. In fact I just bought your book. I started playing last summer at 56 years of age. I initially tried the Varden overlap grip. After playing with that grip for a bit I tried the interlock grip and felt much better. I now use that grip as it gives me the most secure feeling of connection to the club.
@USGOLFTVshow
Peter, thanks for the kind words and posting. Will be curious to get your feedback on the book. It was a lot of fun to do. 👊
@rosadogaming3598
Todd. This video single handily fixed my swing again. Thank you thank you thank you!
@USGOLFTVshow
Let's go....thank you for sharing! Hope you are enjoying the channel, more to come.
@jeffmagnuson1697
Great tip. 70 years old today and forgot about gripping this way; thanks for the reminder. Just received my new Maxvert driver and hybrid bundle and tested on the driving range yesterday. Heading to the course right now to try them for the first time. Greetings fro Collinsville, Oklahoma. Teeing off early to beat the heat. (ten finger grip)
@USGOLFTVshow
Awesome! Appreciate the support and kind words. Have a great day 👊
@ravishankarpatil9278
Great tip, this feels strong. I use an interlock grip for holding the club better
@johndunleavy6863

@rs2wtf
I had a lot of discomfort with my grip over the past year and it never felt right. It's amazing how much a simple check can make all the difference in the set up! Thanks! 🎉
