Ep. 83 - Billy Ballantine & Nick Jackelson: Grym Galaxy.




The Brooklyn Blast Furnace show

Summary: "Grym Galaxy"... a Hip-Hop group born out of the Slums Of Shaolin... Staten Island, New York is made up of Billy Ballantine and Nick Jackelson. Billy invited me to his house on Staten Island to talk about a few things. We cover their early musical influences, the rare opportunity to be booked on both Hip Hop and Hardcore shows, we talk rap, metal, hardcore, wrestling and a bunch of other things. There's mention of Vinnie Paz and how Nick got the opportunity to create a beat for the song "Hashem on a Pentagram" featuring Ill Bill and Goretex of NonPhixion/Heavy Metal Kings/La Coka Nostra that is used on Vinnie's newest solo record "The Pain Collector" on Enemy Soil Records. A couple of down to earth, nice guys that I enjoyed speaking to. Hope you enjoy this. Respect.
