On Monday it was officially announced that Grieves had signed to Rhymesayers and that he would be re-issuing his latest album 88 Keys & Counting on March 2nd, as well as releasing a brand new album later on in the year. To kick off the official Fifth Element pre-order, grab "Smile For The Blade" off of The Confessions of Mr. Modest EP which you will receive free with your pre-order of 88 Keys & Counting.
Since the release of his first full length album, Irreversible, Grieves has been called a breath of fresh air, a breakaway phenomenon, and a lyrical mastermind. Touring constantly, Grieves stunned crowds all over the country with his distinctive voice, lyrical precision, and unparalleled style.

Armed with a distinct and fluid sound that will delight your ears and rouse your cerebrum, Grieves' second effort is not to be overlooked.
