Rob G

If there’s one thing Houston rapper Rob G. has in this world, it’s experience. From appearing on MTV in a Roc-A-Fella sponsored rhyme battle against the nations Top Battle Rappers like Wreckognize and TJ Swann to escaping death in a drug deal gone wrong to witnessing the death of his father at the age of 12, this artist’s life has been nothing short of breathtaking. Another thing Rob G. has, that comes as a direct result of said experiences, is superior mic skills. Hailing from a city where game and affiliations at times trump verbal dexterity and lyricism, Rob G.

Sankofa

"Sankofa spits rapid fire raps in his baritone, coming off like Gift of Gab mixed with Slug." "Great content wrapped in a great shape, it’ll make the talent scouts at Rhymesayers nervous that they looked over this Fort Wanye warrior." "a voice that walks the tightrope between R.A. the Rugged Man and Pumpkinhead, all dirty and dusted. Without breath control, charisma and dope lyrics he might not be your first choice as an MC but thankfully he has all three."

Raku

Prima lui caseta audio a fost albumul Dangerous al lui Michael Jackson, primit cadou. Nu a ascultat dintotdeauna exclusiv hip-hop, copil fiind era fascinat de sunetul tambalului si acordeonului, din muzica bulgareasca si sarbeasca, si din bucatile lautaresti vechi. Inainte de revolutie asculta cu placere muzica genericelor de la TVR de genul celui ce. Dupa 1989 asculta din diverse genuri formatii ca: Tehnotronic, Snap, Kriss Kross, Doctor Alban, Inner Circle, 2un Limitted, Boys II Men, Ace of Base, Metallica, Enigma, Queen, UB40 etc.
