BORN IN OCEANSIDE CALIFORNIA, JROC WAS ALWAYS MOVING FROM STATE TO STATE. FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY BECAUSE HIS FATHER WAS A US MARINE. BUT IT WAS WHEN HE MOVED TO JACKSONVILLE NORTHCAROLINA. HE FOUND THAT HIS LIFE WOULD BE CHANGED. FRESH FROM FAIRFIELD CONNETICUT THE PEOPLE, THE ENVIRONMENT WERE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF WHAT HE WAS USED TOO. HE WAS OFTEN TALKED ABOUT AND PICKED ON BECAUSE HE DIDNT DRESS LIKE ANY ONE HE WENT TO SCHOOL WITH. MANY AFTERNOONS STUDENTS WOULD WRITE DOWN LYRICS ABOUT HIM ON A SHEET OF PAPER AND PASS IT AROUND THE BUS. AT THIS TIME JROC DIDNT KNOW HOW TO COMPOSE SO HE WAS LOST IN THE WIND FORCED TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. WEEKS PASS AND ALL JROC COULD DO WAS THINK OF HOW MUCH HE HAS BEEN HUMILIATED FOR NO REASON. ALL BECAUSE HE'S THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK. ONE NIGHT HE WAS LISTINING TO THE RADIO AND HE HEARD TALIB KWELI AND DJ HI-TEK, "THE BLAST" HE IMMEDIATLY FEEL IN LOVE WITH HIP-HOP AND WANTED TO USE WHAT HE HEARD TO FIGHT BACK! BUT TO BE A GREAT LYRICST TAKES PRACTICE AND DEDICATION. SOMETHING JROC DIDN'T POSSESS. SO HE TRIED OVER AND OVER TO WRITE DOWN LYRICS EVERY AFTERNOON PASSING THEM TO HIS CLASSMATES ON THE AFTER SCHOOL BUS. BUT THEY WEREN'T IMPRESSED. HE THEN MOVED ONTO JACKSONVILLE NORTHCAROLINA'S MILITARY BASE. CAMP LEJEUNE. ONCE AGAIN HIS FATHER WAS STATIONED SOMEWHERE ELSE. SO HE HAD TO MOVE. THERE ARE MANY DIVERSE PEOPLE A MILITARY BASE BECAUSE THEY COME FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD. TO FIND OUT A MAJORITY OF THE MALES WERE VERY MUCH INTO HIP-HOP. HE MET LOCAL RAPPERS SUCH AS: LAWS LUGA CHI, LANDO HEIGHTS, AND CALYPSO (WHO AT THE TIME WAS YOUNG NATIVE) EVERY DAY JROC AND LANDO HEIGHTS WOULD TAKE THEIR KAROKEE MACHINE TO AN APANDONED HOUSE AND TRY TO MAKE TAPES TO SEND TO MAJOR LABELS. IT WAS JUST A DREAM BUT THESE TOO WERE DETERMINED TO PURSUE IT. JROC THEN MET UP WITH A LOCAL LABEL KNOWN AS THE STREET POET MAFIA. WHO PUT JROC IN THE STUDIO FOR THE 1ST TIME. THIS IS WHERE JROC WAS ABLE TO FIND HIMSELF. WITH THIS LABEL HE WAS ABLE TO OPEN SHOWS FOR BONE CRUSHER , CRIME MOB, THEM FRANCHISE BOYS. BUT AFTER GROWING UP UNDERSTANDING THE BUSINESS JROC REALIZED HE DIDNT' WANT TO BE IN THE BACKGROUND ANY MORE SO HE SEPERATED HIMSELF FROM THE STREET POETS AND TRIED TO FIND HIMSELF WITH MUSIC. HE STUDIED BOBBY BROWN, MICHEAL JACKSON, TALIB KWELI, COMMON, HI-FIVE, SOUL 4 REAL, KID N' PLAY, THE FRESH PRINCE, ETC HE LATER BEGUN TO DO SHOWS ON HIS OWN. SUCH AS THE MYSPACE PARTY AT "CLUB COCONUTS" HE EVEN TRAVELLED TO PALM BAY FLORIDA. AND WAS BRIEFLY PART OF A ROCK BAND CALLED "CHAOS TO THE MASSES". JROC HAS A STYLE THAT CAN NOT BE STUDIED. THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE WAY HE IS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND MUSIC THAT SEPERATES HIM FROM ANY ONE ELSE IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS.Me and My boys doing the Heel ToeJroc Crankin' Tha Soulja Boy
