If you know Mr. Openyonated you know that he loves music. I have a box of my grandmother’s 45’s under my bed.  I grew up in a time when music was music and it had substance. Companies took time in developing their artists back in the day but so much has changed. Companies have cut their budgets and don’t invest the time that it takes in developing its artists.Changes in technology and the way that music is delivered have altered the musical landscape and the independent artist now has greater control over his or her project.    Gregory Michael Hood is an  artist that provides a breath of fresh air in this current musical climate.  I encountered him in an Apple Bee’s while waiting on a table with a couple of friends.  I’m typically hesitant to purchase music that is being sold outside of a record shop because simply put it ends up as a drink coaster after I listen to the first few songs. On this night I decided to give it another try and it was a good decision. He was marketing his project Only If You Love Me which had more than a few gems on it some of them being the title track , I wanna rock, breathe to name a few.  His new offering to the world is Veteran’s Day.  It’s another solid contribution to the hip hop world.  Some of my  favorites are Basketball Wives, Heart of the Armed Forces and Is it her.   One of things you will notice about GM and his  music is that he is a respectable man in and outside of his music and that he has a respect for God and his fellow man.  If you haven’t encountered his music yet I suggest that you take a listen, your ears will thank you.
