Artist

Greg “Olskool Ice-Gre” Lewis has made his mark as a Hip Hop artist coast to coast and his music has been recognized and heralded internationally. On August 6, 2021, his group (he is the male half of the duo) Abstract Mindstate released their first full-length studio album in 16 years. The project received high praise and positive reviews from music critics, industry insiders, hype beast publications and podcasts. Titled “Dreams Still Inspire,” the album was produced in full by Ye (formally Kanye West) and remains to be the first and only release from his YZY SND (Yeezy Sound) imprint as well as the only album in the market he produced alone. Although the album did not make the official nomination ballot, “Dreams Still Inspire” received “For Your Consideration” with the Recording Academy for “Best Rap Album” and “Album of The Year.” The second single “Move Yo Body” received Grammy Consideration for “Song of The Year” and “Best Rap Performance.” Dreams Still Inspire received the coveted AOTY (Album of the Year) stamp, by various online music sites, and A Wise Tale, the official first single and music video released from the album, won a Hollywood Music and Media Award (HMMA) in November 2021 for Best Independent Music Video. In 2022, Olskool (with his group) embarked on a domestic tour with Detroit Hip Hop Legends Slum Village to promote Dreams Still Inspire. This resulted in Abstract Mindstate being praised by promoters for their dynamic live show, which has been consistently praised throughout the group’s career. The feedback prompted an offer by the Detroit Hip Hop legends to join them as the official opening act on their month-long “F.U.N Since 92” European Tour in the Spring of 2024. Abstract Mindstate completed the tour with high engagement. The group’s latest album The Art Project was produced exclusively by Young RJ of Slum Village. Abstract Mindstate completed a short stint in the UK in 2025 to promote The Art Project performing as the opening act on the Front 2 Back Tour with Slum Village who were celebrating the 25-year anniversary of their classic release Fantastic Vol.2. The performances included a three-day residency at Jazz cafe in London, Blues Kitchen in Manchester and Eden Festival in Scotland.
