Roccett's talent is clear.
Success in
the music industry is notoriously difficult. Whether it be the obstacle
of not having the backing of a major label, or the lack of respect and
support from superstar rappers and fans alike, the road to stardom is
far from easy. Many people have fallen at the hands of these hardships.
One man who has thrived in these conditions is California rapper Roccett.
Born Jerome Rockett in 1983, and raised in the rugged streets of Carson,
Calif., the 22-year-old MC learned about hustling and working hard at a
young age. The rough surroundings of crime and gangs in Carson molded
Roccett into a strong individual, and gave him the necessary experience
to share the struggles of what many people face. After his initial dream
of a basketball career didn't materialize, he discovered he had a
passion for hip-hop at the age of 16. With his eyes clearly set on his
new goal, he began laying out the foundation for his success by
performing shows throughout Los Angeles.
Coming from the west coast, a region that has produced stars like Snoop
Dogg, Dr.Dre, N.W.A and many more, and famous for its unique lifestyle,
Roccett embodies what many west coast rap fans love, while at the same
time displaying a versatility that makes him appealing to hip-hop fans
across the world.
His charisma and strong stage presence, combined with his ability to
craft stories about a wide array of subjects earned the young rapper the
respect of fans and caused the industry to take notice.
His talent and drive caught the attention of Green Up Entertainment in
2004, and his partnership with the company, which has worked with
notables like Usher and Tupac, has produced a sizable buzz. Having
already worked with established stars like Young Jeezy, Fabolous, Killer
Mike, Knoc'turn'al and other rising rappers like Bishop Lamont and
Spider Loc at this young stage of his career, as well as having
critically acclaimed mixtapes under his belt, Roccett's talent is clear.
With so many dues paid, his industry knowledge and the groundwork set,
Roccett is poised to make a lasting impression on hip-hop.
