About Me

SAN FRANS' OWN RAISED IN THE DIVERSE FILLMORE DISTRICT ROCKY GREW UP TALENTED AS FAR AS ART AND POETRY. IT WAS A NATURAL PROGRESSION TO RAP AS HE AND CHILDHOOD FRIENDS LITTLE SHAWN & B.I. SHAWN FORMED A GROUP IN 1990 CALLED "TOP NOTCH" RECORDING ON REEL TO REELS AT THE TIME AND SHARPENING THEIR CRAFTS TOP NOTCH MERGED W/ 3 SHADES OF RYTHM(EQUIPTO, T.D. CAMP, AND P- WHALEY), WHITE MIC, AND DUBSTAR(KWANZ) TO FORM WHAT WAS "THE HOODIES" AT THE TIME AND LATER EVOLVED INTO "BOREDSTIFF". THE RAW SOUND AND FEEL OF THEIR MUSIC SPREAD OVERSEAS TO OTHER COUNTRIES INSPIRING PRODUCERS AND WRITERS UNIVERSALLY. CURRENTLY ROCKY HAS HIS SECOND SOLO ALBUM COMPLETE AND IS ALSO MAKING MUSIC WITH THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF "BOREDSTIFF". LOYALTY REMAINS PRICELESS AS ROCKY STRIVES TO KEEP HIS ESSENCE IN THE MUSIC. NEW TRACKS FEATURE S.F. ICONS HUGH E.M.C., FILLMORE COLEMAN, BIG TONE(R.I.P.), AND EQUIPTO. OTHER SPECIAL GUESTS ARE MIKE MARSHALL, SICK Y.G., AKIL, 99.9 AGENT STRIKNINE, P.W. ESQUIRE, AND MANY MORE ALONG WITH AN ARAY OF TALENTED PRODUCERS.
