Roc C brings uncommon passion and firepower to the microphone. With this full-length debut, he sets his sights on bringing the Oxnard underground hip-hop sound to the streets everywhere. Oh No and DJ Romes (Lootpack) contribute production. Guest MCs include J Ro of Tha Liks, Chino XL and Bizzy Bone.

Fans of West Coast underground hip-hop know Roc C for his stellar debut mic appearance on the 2004 Oh No single “Move Pt. 2,” produced by J Dilla. Roc’s stand-out verse and cameo in the song’s video generated quite a buzz, leading to his own deal with Stones Throw. As the latest MC from the prolific Oxnard, CA crew (Lootpack, Dudley Perkins, Oh No, M.E.D.) to join the label’s roster, Roc is making a lot of noise right out the gate. His first single, “Don’t Stop” – an Oh No-produced slab of infectious trunk funk – was featured on EA Sports’ Fight Night Round 3 video game.

With influences ranging from A Tribe Called Quest to MC Eiht, Roc aims to transcend the usual hip-hop categories. Roc rhymes as therapy, venting the demons of a background shaped by gang rivalries, poverty, jail and mortality. The result is one of Stones Throw’s most street- oriented albums to date. Features production by Oxnard family: Oh No, DJ Romes and Kan Kick. The diverse list of guest MCs includes Oh No, Dudley Perkins, Pok Dog, Glasses Malone, J Ro, Chino XL, Bizzy Bone and Aloe Blacc.
