RL Grime first came to prominence as a New York-based teenager delivering monster, viral remixes of Chief Keef's "Love Sosa" and Kanye West's "Mercy." He established himself as a unique artist in his space with a striking monochromatic aesthetic, a series of animated music videos, and a annual Halloween mix that has gone on to feature legendary cameos from celebrities including Neil deGrasse Tyson, Shaquille O'Neal, Tony Hawk, Guy Fieri, Bruce Buffer, and more. After solidifying his fanbase with a few highly-regarded EPs, RL Grime independently released his first studio album, VOID, in 2014. It premiered as the #1 Electronic album in the United States and remained in that position for a month. At that point—with over 150 million plays, rave reviews and magazine covers, and sets at the biggest festivals in the world including Coachella & Lollapalooza—most artists would settle for their success. RL Grime stuck to his underground roots and further limited his releases. He collaborated with artists including Big Sean, Miguel, and Skrillex, and starred in Alexander Wang's #WANGSQUAD alongside Travis Scott & Zoe Kravitz. In late 2017, he emerged with "Era," a tour-de-force single whose epic, cinematic sound announced a new era and his sophomore album: NOVA. RL Grime has distinguished himself as an innovator in music, delicately treading the line between mainstream and an independent sound, the underground and the accessible, popular music and artistry. In 2019, he went on to establish his own record label called Sable Valley, serving as a platform to highlight emerging talent that he believes in and allowing up-and-coming artists to share their artistic voice with the world on their terms. show less
