Delware’s Heart of HipHop, C-Rock on AITP Fest

by

C-Rock from Delaware sent in an installment for our interviews with the Artists In The Plus about the Online Music Festival in September.

DJ WIG introduced C-Rock into “Recording Music” where he made his 1st mixtape titled “bloody battle”. Not knowing if many would want to hear it he still took the chance and recorded 50 copies on cassette tapes then went to Kinkos printed covers and sold them to his fellow class mates. Many years have went by and C-Rock has learned to form his craft into a true form of hip-hop. In 2008 C-Rock was arrested for growing and selling marijuana serving 9 months in prison. Missing the birth of his son he knew time in life was not going to wait for him. He has recorded over 150 tracks since then with the release of 7 mixtapes since 2009 and opening for famous artist such as Bizzy Bone former artist of ”Bone Thugs n Harmony, Esham , Bizarre of “D12”, King Gordy , Mad illz “ceo of Grindtime” and one of the greatest battle artist in the world , legendary “Iron Solomon”. Slowly learning how to direct and edit music videos C-Rock now is not only known for his music but his vision threw a high definition lens. Creating over 40 video projects stamped with approval by many fans C-Rock is ready to help break the shell that Delaware has been stuck in since the birth of hip-hop.
