Press Release Body =
ATLANTA, November 10, 2006-- In a move that will prove to be colossal to the success
of his music career, Mr. Grand has collaborated with DJ Smallz, of the infamous
Southern Smoke mixtape series, on his finest project ever, "The Grand Opening" set
for release November 14, 2006. The first single, "Show U What It Do," has already
garnered major support from DJ's all over the country and overseas and has been
receiving a great amount of radio play. The single is a cross-over hit with
commercial success that will appeal to hip hop lovers all over. Two other singles,
"Let It Rain" and "Long Time" have been a favorite among DJ's due to Mr. Grand's
gritty rhyme flow and his ability to capture the true essence of story telling.
"Long Time" takes on a personal tone using the Sam Cooke remake, "Change Gonna
Come," to express his journey in life. The mixtape also features a host of other
tracks that proves his ability to deliver many different flows and sounds, a style
that he's learned from his all-time influencer, hip hop legend, Nas.

Shortly following the release of the \"The Grand Opening,\" Mr. Grand is also
preparing for the release of his \"Hood Certified Vol 3\" mixtape in late December and
the upcoming album, \"The Greenlight,\" in late January 2007.

Mr. Grand is currently available for interviews, appearances, and performances by

About MR. GRAND

Mr. Grand got his start at an early age learning to play several instruments
including the violin and cello; skills now translating in his ability to produce his
own music. He later went on to establish his presence by heavily hitting the streets
of Atlanta and distributing 8,000 mix tapes, "Hood Certified Vol 1 & 2." The streets
loved it and his hype grew large enough that he was able to score a meeting at Def
Jam South to discuss a possible record deal. The label executives thought it would
make a great record, but decided against it because they felt that his sound wasn't
Southern enough. Today, his catalog boasts hundreds of already completed tracks and
he\'s changed his style to cross regional barriers.
