Rocky Rivera-Girl Like Me
WOW! So not only is she dope, a hip hop connoisseur, and beautiful, but she’s also Filipina like my girl @GemZing *Get Hip* to Rocky Rivera…
Rocky Rivera is a Hip-Hop journalist by day, MC by night, who found international acclaim by winning a Contributing Editor position on MTV’s docu-series “I’m From Rolling Stone” in 2007. After lacking inspiration in the literary world, she decided to finally pursue Hip-Hop as a participant, not only as an observer, and began to fill the void with thought-provoking music that you can dance to. (Think Lauryn Hill meets Public Enemy with West Coast beats) Her moniker and album theme is derived from a book entitled “The Gangster of Love” by Jessica Hagedorn, as Rocky examines love, war, and a young woman’s journey along the way.
Soooo feeling the Tanya Stephans “Its A Pity” sample! Its times like these that I wish I lived on the west coast.

Bizzle-Beware pt. 1 (No Church in the Wild Response)
Wow, this was pretty dope. As a huge music lover and a Christian, this rendition of one of my fave Jay & Yeezy jams definitely made me take a look in the mirror. I’ll be the first to admit it, straddling the fence and being lukewarm is«««

Dope interview of Phlo Finister by LAStereoTV. Now a 20 year old songstress, she previously was a stylist for Kanye and fashion model. We’ve played her song “Bang Bang” on FNGRadio and plan to play more from her mixtape “Crown Gold”. «Get Hip»
