The song has added to the popularity of grills, which has lead to an industry boom for specialists who personalize grills for individuals.
Nelly has brought the concept of oral bling to the forefront of mainstream fashion with his hip-hop hit "Grillz". This is a growing phenomena in the hip-hop culture. Don't be surprised if this new trend hangs around for long a time.
Many parents are hearing about this phenomena and are concerned about what exact “Grills Jewelry” is and whether or not they should be worried. Not only are parents concerned about the appearance but they are also concerned about the hygene that might result from the grillz.
Grillz are cutomizable and there are a variety of designs, shapes, metals, and jewels that can be used in creating personalized grills.
