About Us
Global Grind is the hotspot linking you to web content that puts you up on things you need to know.
There's a lot of information out there, but getting to the important content is probably taking up more time then you have to spend.
That's where we come in. Global Grind brings together people like you. People who know what interests you, topics that stir up
controversy and content that might make you laugh (or cry). Alongside our staff, the GG community brings the most relevant and
intriguing stories; those that are essential to the survival of our community. Yes, it's that serious.
Featuring thousands of articles, photos and videos, GG makes it easier to find (and share) what you want to see on the web.
Global Grind puts you in the center, so you get the best of the web; the world according to hip-hop.
Global Grind Staff
Andrea Gouw, Director of Business Development
Don't let the nickname fool you. Dre is like a fish out of water when it comes to hip-hop, but up for
the challenge of working in the hip-hop space. An avid music fan, she counts Pulp, Portishead and the
Pixies among her favorites...not P. Diddy, Pharrell and Master P. Andrea has spent time working in fashion
and retailing as well as online at Walmart.com and Real Networks. She recently graduated from the
Kellogg School of Management where she managed to get six stamps in her passport and pick up
snowboarding. This bio was brought to you by the letter P.

Kenny Lai, Lead Developer
There's no sporting event that Kenny can't handle, nor a concert that he'll turn down. He's into great
music, and loves the challenges that the Internet provides—which includes answering the age-old question,
“How do we evolve the web?” Prior to joining Global Grind, Kenny was employed by BET.com for seven years,
and has worked extensively on developing and shaping that web medium into the product it is today.
All of Kenny's experience is in entertainment, media, and online properties, with a focus on content

The Blackspot likes anime, toys, music and stuff that lights up. When he's not at Global Grind, you can find
him sleepwalking or watching professional wrestling. All in all, he's a nice guy that you can have a beer with,
and he accepts monetary donations.

From the Bronx. Residing in BK. Sharpened my crayons at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. Usually heavy on the grind. When I'm not grindin, I'm probably editing, shooting, animating, or getting my passport stamped. If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you will certainly be right.
