As most of us know, Sacramento is a City that continues to expand and display its talents through many avenues. Whether it may be through local artwork, musical artists, or the film industry, many Sacramentoian’s, are continuing to bring the spot light to the Capital City. With this topic in mind, I wanted to share a recent story from a local music production company from our very own City of Sacramento.

Grind Hard Entertainment (G.H.E.) is a company that was created by Jose “Flowmatic” Jimenez, after the disconnected feeling he experienced while being a part of a music company that did not allow him to voice his ideas and took control of his desired projects. This is commonly seen in the music industry.

He also felt that those who were responsible for producing, and providing the creative talent of post production where not given the proper recognition. This unfortunate reality helped motivate the beginning of Grind Hard Entertainment which has been independently owned and operated since its establishment in 2004.

G.H.E. and its production team has completed, and contributed work with several local and nationwide hip-hop artists, such as: The Game, Jim Jones, Brotha Lynch Hung, Keak Da Sneak, The Federation, Skee 64, T-Nutty, Krytykal, and Doey Rock just to name a few.

This exposure has created a buzz in the Hip-Hop world of music coming out of Sacramento, and has brought an interest in their production team, specifically to one of their Master Producers who just recently turned 18, but has been composing music for the last five years. He is known in the industry as Armando “Complex” Jimenez, who has been highly instrumental in the company’s success.

The talents of Grind Hard ENT. caught the attention of Deon Taylor Enterprises, which is a local film production company out of Sacramento that has been featured in the Sacramento Film Festival, and currently has numerous projects that are in the works.

This lead Grind Hard Entertainment in composing the score for Deon Taylor Enterprises, film: Nite Tales, which aired nationwide on the B.E.T. network hosted by Flavor Flav on Halloween Night. They are in the process of composing additional scoring work for projects that have yet to be released.

Flowmatic CEO of Grind Hard ENT. stated “Our main goal is to continue to advance Sacramento in the Music and Entertainment business and expose the talents that come from the Sacramento area through Films, and Music Albums”.

The experience that I had with Grind Hard Entertainment was very professional and the company was really focused on showcasing Sacramento as a prominent place for local art and talents.

As we continue to expand as a City it is important to welcome local companies or individuals who are exposing Sacramento through the talents that they bring, showing the world that Sacramento is serious about Music and Entertainment.
