Born in Atlanta, GA., raised in Newport "Bad Newz" News, VA., Jermaine "Germ Yo Skeetie Maine" Grayson has been putting it down since 1992 on the Bad Newz Underground rap scene with his childhood friends and rap crew N.O.V.A. (apart of the Cru Thik/ Die-Nasty Raidaz movenent) . Germ was a fixture in Bad Newz due to the notoriety of N.O.V.A.'s two street albums, "Dex Dynasty"and the Iron Kurtain/Cru Thik compilation "Dynasty Raidaz: The Gimmicks Ova", along with a slew of features on many other artist albums and mixtapes. After losing a number of comrades, to the grave and jail, doing a number of juvenile, state, and federal sentences, Germ relocated to Toledo "The Glass City" OH. in 2005 to focus on his family and solo music career. With the help of Toledo bred underground producer Keno Alums (Alumenated Music), Germ released two street albums; "The One and Only" (2006) and "Go Hard or Go Home"(2008)to critical street acclaim on the underground hip hop scene. In the recent years, after parting ways with Alumenated Music, Germ has released his latest mixtapes, "Hella Hungry the mixtape volume one" and "Fire Storm vol.1" which are currently online on youtube, reverbnation, facebook, and on twitter @GrandstandGerm. His next project titled "On The Corner Grind Music" will be released in 2012, with the single "Certified Bull$hit", (which is available on itunes now). Along with his LayGray Music business partner Dave "D Lay" Latham, Germ Yo Skeetie Maine is pushing forward, blazing trails through the hip hop scene, gaining supporters and fans everywhere. Germ Yo Skeetie Maine is Hip Hop's black plague!!!
