Professor Griff rose to fame as the "Minister Of Information" and leader of the S1W's (Security of The First World) with the revolutionary rap group Public Enemy. Formed in 1986, Public Enemy blazed a new path for rap with its intense, aggressive sound and provocative lyrics. Check out his latest projects!

After making three albums with Public Enemy, Griff formed his own group, Professor Griff and The Last Asiatic Disciples and signed to Luke (Skywalker) Records. Griff wrote, produced and recorded three powerful, thought-provoking albums of beats and rhymes for the label: "Pawns In The Game" (1990), "Kaoz II Wiz-7-Dome" (1991) and "Disturb N Tha Peace" (1992). In addition, Griff successfully took his socially challenging and politically potent poetry to conferences and colleges across the country.

In 1997, Griff rejoined Public Enemy to record the soundtrack album for the Spike Lee film, "He Got Game." The album was released in 1998 to strong reviews, and the group continued their major comeback by setting out on the road with the Smokin' Grooves Tour that summer. 1998 also marked Griff's return to the solo arena with the release of "Blood Of The Profit," co-produced by Chuck D, on Lethal Records.

As the Internet boom began its entrance  into the music industry, Public Enemy once again broke ground by being among the first to embrace the Internet as a vehicle for their music and messages. In 1999, Public Enemy released the internet-only album "There is A Poison Goin On" on Atomic Pop. That same year, on the Internet radio station, Rapstation (www.rapstation.com), Griff debuted his spoken word radio program, "Poetical Tonguez," the acclaimed spoken word forum, which he continues to host today.

In 2000, Griff set out with Public Enemy on the "Poison" Tour, and he began work on his next solo effort, "And The Word Became Flesh." Featuring poems pulled from over fifteen years of material, which he re-recorded with a fresh, more mature sound as well as three new original tracks. "And The Word Became Flesh" was released on The Right Stuff/EMI in September 2001. To coincide with the release of "And The Word Became Flesh," Griff embarked on a 6-10 city Spoken word tour, entitled "The Sounds of Truth."

In addition to his efforts as a solo artist, Internet radio program host and founding member of Public Enemy, Griff has always remained involved in a variety of additional projects. With friends Chuck D and Kyle "Ice" Jason, he formed the rock/rap fusion band Confrontation Camp that released an album on Artemis Records entitled, "Objects In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear," and he recently formed another rock/rap fusion band, The 7th Octave.
