Hip Hop Artist Grafh Joins The Cast of Raymond Deane’s Travail “Dawn of a New Day”
Rapper Grafh & Exec. Producer Phill Hammond
Grafh has recently been casted in Raymond Deane’s controversial, conspiracy based thriller Travail. Grafh had the following to say about joining the cast and his thoughts on the film.
Travail takes you out of the matrix and allows you to take a look at what truly surrounds us. A very eye opening Film, makes you feel aware on whats really going on. I’m definitely excited to be a part of the cast. Can’t wait to see it all unfold.- Grafh
“Raymond Deane Films & Knew Mind Pictures are thrilled to have Grafh on board. Grafh brings a authentic and charismatic presence to our film. He is a hell of a artist and has the making of a great actor. – Phill Hammond, executive producer.
Grafh Bio
Grafh, born Philip Bernard, hails from Jamaica, Queens, New York. He made a name for himself on the mixtape circuit, where he garnered early support from influential mix-show DJ’s in New York. His skill, charisma, honesty, and determination were so obvious that he generated a buzz nationwide and attracted the attention of the major labels. Even in the early stages of his career, Grafh was being heralded as the “Black Eminem.” Although he’s remained independent, Grafh has had distribution deals with Sony, Rocafella Records, and E1 Music (formerly Koch). As the flagship artist of Black Hand Entertainment, he released a substantial collection of mixtapes and a street album, Autografh, to critical acclaim.
Despite having yet to release a studio album, support for Grafh and his music has been overwhelming – both among fans and within the music industry. His songs have been featured on HBO’s Entourage, Fox’s Meth and Red, BET’s Ultimate Hustler and in a number of video games, including EA Sport’s NFL Streets, Saint’s Row, and 25 to Life. Grafh has also been heavily supported by his peers, including Drake, Raekwon, Bun B, Jim Jones, Busta Rhymes, Waka Flocka, and many others. Grafh was surprised, however, when actor Shia LaBeouf said he was “really, really, really good” in a late-night TV interview with Carson Daly. This sense of appreciation has motivated Grafh to stay true to his fans while touring and releasing new music online via his official website, GrafhOnline.com. He has also built a strong following on Twitter, where he applies an entertaining combination of sharp humor and brutal honesty to everyday life.
Over the last year, he has built a creative team of young, talented people that are working with him toward the album’s release. Grafh has redefined his sound – drawing inspiration from multiple genres – and has made a concerted effort to be more emotionally candid. The result has been the best music of Grafh’s career, with more songs still to record. With The Rule EP, Grafh hopes to prove that he’s more than just raw talent. He has set out to challenge the labels that have been put on him as an artist – to push his own boundaries musically, lyrically, and visually. Just as he did at the start of his career, Grafh plans to let the music speak for itself.

Due for release soon, Travail: Dawn of a New Day is not one to miss.
This cleverly woven story neatly ties up all the loose ends in the conspiracy stories you have heard about and dismissed as ridiculous, having any lingering doubts dispelled by an in-depth news report that apparently completely throws out of the question, what you thought to be true, by producing what is quite probably fake evidence to the contrary.

Alex Meskouris; Harvard graduate & owner of the popular and trendy HK (Hell’s Kitchen) NYC takes to twitter to give feedback on Raymond Deane’s Travail “Dawn of a New Day” Movie Trailer.
Alex Meskouris (@alexmeskouris) direct messaged executive producer of “Travail” Phill Hammond (@tweetbigphill) on twitter earlier today about the trailer to Travail “Dawn of a New Day” he said the following:
When this movie hits the public, It’s going to be very interesting how people will react. Espically New Yorkers.
Hells Kitchen: Delivering urban adventure and daredevil design, HK reflects New York City itself—an inspired piece of organized chaos. Set in a once-gritty backdrop of New York’s Port Authority, HK sports an ultramodern countenance with a Mediterranean-Asian pedigree, a
bold step forward for the changing face of Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen. “Hell’s Kitchen is the final frontier of New York City,” says co-owner Alex Meskouris. courtesy of: Time Out New York
Writer;Anna Marie Bowman says “Travail’s cinematography pops, and gives the movie a gritty realism that is hard to ignore.”
Anna Marie Bowman is a writer and educator from Illinois. She joined the popular Hub Pages website three years ago because she loves to write, and is a huge independent movie fan.
She recently reviewed the trailer to Raymond Deane’s Travail “Dawn of a New Day” here is a snippet of the article:
To understand what this movie is about, look at the title of the movie. Travail is a word not often used today. I was unsure as to its meaning. Yeah, sometimes I am not that bright. I looked it up. After seeing the trailer, the definition fits so perfectly, and describes the movie so well. Travail is defined as painfully difficult or burdensome work; toil; or pain, anguish or suffering resulting frommentalorphysical hardship. This describes some of the themes in the movie perfectly.
If you are a fan of conspiracy theory movies, such as The Da Vinci Code or The Matrix, you have to check out this movie. It is a dark, twisted look at the pursuit of ‘The American Dream’ and the corruption that great power brings with it.
Hubpages.com member Der Meister calls Travail a conspiracy nut’s paradise!!
