2012 has been an awesome year for us at Rise & Grnd! We were able to meet and hang with numerous different artists from around the country and surround ourselves with what we love (music)! We’re a small site and owe it all to the people out there that give us even 1 minute of their time and for that we’re eternally grateful. So with that 2013 is less than 12 hours away and its onto the next one with bigger and better goals and ambitions. Stay tuned for more!
