Gregory Phillips (born 11 September 1971), better known by his stage name Grap Luva, is an American record producer and rapper from Mount Vernon, New York. The younger brother of Pete Rock, he began his career by making guest appearances on both studio albums by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth in the early 1990s. He later became a member of the Pete Rock-led group InI, but their album Center of Attention was shelved. He closed out the 1990s by producing songs for Pete Rock, J-Live, Kombo, Profile and former fellow InI member Rob-O.
At the start of the 2000s, Grap Luva's output became minimal, although he made guest appearances on albums by artists such as Lone Catalysts, Pete Rock and Kev Brown. In 2011, he released the Neva Done EP on the Slice-of-Spice label. In 2015, he collaborated with Black Spade on a self-titled EP.
