Not Checkers: Q. aka Media Pimp and aL Bakwurdz Lead the Way on GRYSKLL’s Latest Release

The title track of Q. aka Media Pimp’s new Not Checkers EP delivers sharp lyricism layered over a dark, cinematic beat produced by Bobby Fischer. Q. and aL Bakwurdz trade verses filled with raw imagery and lived experience, embodying the honesty and depth that defines their collective, GRYSKLL.

aL Bakwurdz, a member of the Abbey West Recording team, co-wrote and performed on the track, bringing both precision and heart to the project. His contribution connects AWR directly to the GRYSKLL movement, which has quickly become a unique voice in Hip Hop.

Formed in 2021 through collaborations on Instagram Reels, GRYSKLL unites DJs, producers, and emcees from across the U.S. under the banner “Where Hip Hop finds solace, and the soul finds its rhythm.” The crew, affectionately known as The Expendables of Hip Hop, blends decades of experience with a renewed passion for storytelling, mental wellness, and community impact.

With Not Checkers, the collective continues to push Hip Hop forward while staying rooted in authenticity. For GRYSKLL, the song is more than just music — it’s part of a larger mission to uplift, inspire, and honor the culture.
