Grant Parks

Producer and CoalMine Music founder Grant Parks has worked with some of the most legendary names in the history of Hip Hop. His catalogue includes tracks featuring verses from KRS-One, Sadat X, Rhymefest, Crucial Conflict, WC, and more. The Windy City native began making waves in 2008 when he received “Producer of the Year” nominations from the Chicago Truth Awards and Fakeshoredrive.com.

After releasing several compilation albums over the last 5 years, Parks is back with his latest free project Drilling Season Vol. 1. The 12-track LP includes appearances from fellow Chi-town artists Malik Yusef and GLC and serves as a display of Parks’ production range.
