The "New Arrival" used CD bins at Rockaway Records in Silver Lake is my

Greyboy is the producer of the Greyboy Allstars. DJ Greyboy, an artist in
his own right, puts out albums
and has various members of the Allstars playing instruments over his beats.

The name "Greyboy Allstars" at first glance seems misleading for a band
without his presence; you'd expect a live band with him DJing along with
them, like I once expected when I first heard of them, but also keep in
mind that "Greyboy" is not only a DJ, but a record label, thus the "The
Greyboy Allstars" actually means "The Greyboy (Records) Allstars." Makes
more sense now, huh? :)

It is. They're Reeeeeeeeed-HOT!
