Overview
Genesis the Greykid

I've been an artist since I could truly remember a memory....but none of it really made sense until I fell in and out of love. Until I slept on a park bench. Until I lost and found God. Until I fell into rhythm, into something deeper....an internal compass, as a fine artist, as a poet, a human being learning to become intoxicated on the very air we breathe.  These colors, these mantras and poems  I’ve dedicated my life to exploring. All of it.

Russell McGee Jr, better known as Genesis the Greykid, is a fine artist, poet, creative director, and underground hip-hop artist who was co-signed by the Media Label Creative Control TV (which used to be under the DD172 umbrella) by filming duo/CEO's Coodie & Chike. As of July 13, 2021, one of Genesis paintings titled 'Computer Love' sold for $87,000 at Phillips (auctioneers) in London. The painting went for almost ten times its estimates. He became one of the few emerging Fine Art Poets in 2016, selling over $12,000 in poems his first two-hour exhibition in Chattanooga, Tennessee, titled "Through the Grey". He is also behind the 48 x 48 inch painting created for the song "Brothers" by rapper Kanye West, featuring vocals from singer Charlie Wilson, produced by Seven, Irv Gotti, and Bink!. The song was previewed alongside the season 2 premiere of American drama show Tales (TV series) and was released on July 5, 2019.
