Rock The Word - ProfilesArchive

About Me

Rock The Word is my love for all things verbal. Rockin the word with poetry, but mostly rap collaborations with Dump Truck, Lil S, Jaffa, Will and Others.I started a long ass time ago, making parodies of songs and writing poetry. Around that same time I was making mixtapes, like actual cassette tapes, with the old pause-simultaneous-unpause-play style back then.The first parody I can remember makin was based off EPMD's "you got's ta chill", only I changed chill to grill and made the whole song about a cookout. I "battled" a guy and "won" even though the audience was just friends.A few years ago I did a collab with a dude named Will, then I made an EP called "Action Potential" which I really never did anything with. Last year I worked with Lil S. and Big I, then lately I've been hooking up with Jaffa. All the while I've been doing stuff off and on with my boy from when I grew up, Dump Truck.I'm trying to finish up some work I'm required to do, then crank out some tracks, just for fun."Take time to observe the illness...I caught it as a kid."
