BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU PRAY FOR. 🙏🏾🎥
There was a time when I prayed for people to know my name. Eventually, they did.
This throwback clip with Mr. Two Official, Murda Man 601 and others reminds me of a time when Grind Media was getting love and recognition throughout Atlanta.
But recognition came with a price.
Everybody wanted a piece of me—videos, promotion, branding, favors, interviews—but too many people wanted the value without properly paying for the years it took me to become valuable.
Eventually I prayed:
“God, let the people who can appreciate and afford my work see me—and make me invisible to those who only want to take from me.”
Looking back, I learned to be careful what you pray for.
Because today my prayer is different.
God, let the RIGHT people see me. 🙏🏾
The right network. The right streaming platform. The right investor. The right distributor. The right advertisers and sponsors.
After 20+ years, I don't just have videos. I have an archive of Atlanta culture and history—people before the fame, during the come-up and after the success.
I'm not asking everybody to see it anymore.
I'm asking God to let the RIGHT people see it.

🎥 GRIND MEDIA ARCHIVES | EVERY GENERATION HAS A STORY

“Five more pictures!” 📸😂

If you’ve ever had Grind behind the camera, you already know what that means. I might SAY five more…but if somebody moves, WE STARTING OVER! 😂

This moment comes from the J.C. Murphy High School Class of 1976 Reunion, with the entire class together on the bridge for their group photo.

And beyond the laughs, this clip represents something much bigger about the Grind Media archive.

Look at the generations we’ve documented.

From Baby Boomers celebrating friendships and memories that have lasted more than 50 years…to my generation and the people who helped shape Atlanta culture…to today’s young athletes, artists and next generation coming up right now.

Different ages. Different stories. Different eras. ONE CAMERA.

For more than two decades, Grind Media has been documenting Atlanta—its people, culture, celebrations, sports, music, communities and history.

We don’t just have content for one demographic.

We have generations.

And we’re still filming. 🎥

THE VAULT IS OPENING.

Grind Media is seeking conversations with major networks, streaming platforms, distributors, licensing partners, production partners, advertisers, sponsors and investors interested in original and archival content with authentic Atlanta stories and multigenerational reach.

🎥 GRIND MEDIA VAULT: SHORTY G BEFORE YAHDAHN YADA

Before many people knew him as Yahdan Yada (Minister Yahdan Yada), he was known as Shorty G.

This footage comes from a period when Shorty G was transitioning from his BMF-era identity and building what would eventually become Yahdan Yada. During that transition, he came to Grind Media for help with his media presence and branding.

In this clip, I don’t have to tell you what Grind Media brought to the table — he tells you himself.

This isn’t about bragging. It’s about documenting the history.

For more than 20 years, Grind Media has had the cameras rolling—capturing Atlanta’s culture, personalities, music, movements and stories while they were still developing.

Some became famous. Some went viral. Some changed directions. But the footage remained.

And we’re just beginning to open the vault. 🎞️

Grind Media is seeking network, streaming, distribution and licensing partners—as well as advertisers, sponsors and investors interested in helping bring this archive to a larger audience.

Until these platforms start paying me properly, you will never see 95% of the work I put into helping the underground music scene in Atlanta. Dont forget my brand was built in the streets before social media. If I don’t know how to do anything else, I know how to go outside and get it.

GOD’S PLAN: All my credit in this game goes to him! He put me in the rooms I need to be in!

THIS IS NOT THE GOOD FOOTAGE, IM WAITING ON THESE NETWORKS TO COME ON IN!

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO’S WATCHING YOUR GRIND. 🎥💯

Sometimes support happens quietly. No big announcement, no promises—somebody simply sees you working and decides to help however they can.

Caught independent artist performing at Central Station the other night, putting in that work. 💪🏾🔥

Grind Media sees you working. Keep going.

That’s what we’ve always been about—using the camera, the platform and whatever resources we have to help somebody else get seen.

Go check out , show his performance some love, and support an independent artist who’s out here putting in the work.

SUPPORT DA HUSTLE, AND THE HUSTLE WILL SUPPORT YOU. 🎥

SUPPORT DA HUSTLE, AND THE HUSTLE WILL SUPPORT YOU. 💯🎥

Hearing A Damn Shame playing in Central Station the other night took me all the way back.

“Out on the grind, I gotta get it…”

I had to pull my phone out and record it, because that record comes from around the same era when I was building Grind Media.

And all these years later… I’M STILL GRINDING. STILL FILMING. STILL SUPPORTING. STILL HELPING PEOPLE GET SEEN.

Day One, my motto was simple:

SUPPORT DA HUSTLE, AND THE HUSTLE WILL SUPPORT YOU.

But support has to have balance.

If somebody supports your dream, find a way to support theirs. It doesn’t always have to be money. Share their work. Recommend their business. Make a connection. Show up. Give them their flowers. Reciprocate the energy.

Because community doesn’t work when everybody has their hand out but nobody reaches back.

That’s what Grind Media has always represented to me.

I support you. You support me. We support each other. And everybody gets a better chance to WIN.

More than 20 years later, the message ain’t changed.

SUPPORT DA HUSTLE. THE HUSTLE WILL SUPPORT YOU. 🎥💯

THE ORIGINAL. 🎥💯

They say Atlanta’s music, comedy and nightlife scene ain’t what it used to be. Everybody copying everybody. Everybody claiming movements they didn’t help build. Somewhere along the way, we stopped respecting ORIGINAL.

I went to Central Station the other night with my camera. Security didn’t know who I was and told me I’d have to pay extra to bring it in.

They looked over at promoter Big Mike and asked if I was good.

Without hesitation: “Yeah, he good.”

Then when I went over to speak to him, he said something that stuck with me:

“GRIND — THE ORIGINAL.”

That meant something.

Because for over 20 years, I wasn’t waiting until people became somebody to put the camera on them. I was helping people get seen while they were still becoming somebody.

That’s what we’re missing.

If we want Atlanta culture to keep growing, we gotta respect the architects, support the builders and invest in the people who actually helped lay the foundation.

Don’t just copy the wave. Learn who helped create it—then create the next one.
