“The nearest thing I’ve ever done to playing music, besides playing music, is surfing. The wave is the rhythm and what happens on it is all the twists and turns of melody.”

From the days of playing greasy local juke joints to headlining major festivals, JJ Grey remains an unfettered, blissful performer, singing with a blue-collared spirit over the bone-deep grooves of his compositions. His presence before an audience is something startling and immediate, at times a funk rave-up, other times sort of a mass-absolution for the mortal weaknesses that make him and his audience human. When you see JJ Grey and his band Mofro live—and you truly, absolutely must—the man is fearless. On stage, Grey delivers his songs with compassion and a relentless honesty. Grey and his current Mofro lineup offer grace and groove in equal measure.

Surfing and music share an open-hearted, creative, improvisational artistry and ethos. It’s a natural, authentic relationship. We had this epic opportunity to do something unique, get creative and collaborate with JJ, integrating his music video with Beyrick's surf edit. "I've always felt that surfing is like visual music. The surfer being the musician, the surfboard the instrument, and the wave the genre. After 79 days of surfing being banned in South Africa, and being cooped up inside my house, I was literally going "99 Shades of Crazy"... to say the least. I was invited on a surf trip with Mikey February whilst he was filming the first episode of his series "Sonic Souvenirs". Naturally JJ's song fit perfectly with the way I was feeling, and the way I was expressing myself during that surf session. Getting the crazies out, getting a little silly on the waves, and being super stoked to be able to get in the water again after so long, and just let loose!"

LYRICS:
I can’t agree to disagree
Fighting like I’m fighting for life
They’re only words but they cut like a blade
Swinging wide with all of my might

Ah yeah, I guess it’s all of that coffee, that’s got my mind in a whirl
I’m still cussing and bitching and there ain’t nobody here

Oh yeah, you don’t have to holler I hear you
I’m standing right here beside you
Oh, 99 shades of crazy, I’m 99 shades of crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

Pour another drink, make it a double for me
Maybe I can drink this away
It’s never fun when they pull out the gun
Beat you black and blue, boy
You gotta pay, you gotta pay

Oh, where the hell am I? I hope at least I had fun
I’m stumbling through New Orleans oh, to the rising sun

Oh yeah, you don’t have to holler I hear you
I’m standing right here beside you
Oh, 99 shades of crazy, I’m 99 shades of crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

Lord have mercy on me
Noventa nueva tonos de loco

I need some peace, just some relief
From this voice, killing me
You stare at me, and you glare at me
All this pain it’s all the same, it’s all insane
(you see)

Is this really happening or did I make it all up?
I’m bound for Chattahoochee on a turnip truck

Oh yeah, you don’t have to holler I hear you
I’m standing right here beside you
Oh, 99 shades of crazy, I’m 99 shades of crazy
Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy

Ah you’re crazy you’re crazy
hold my feet, feet to the fire
you hold my feet to the fire
I never said I was down with you
