Radio Ro Blog

This is one of my favorite songs! I had to throw this one in the mix.  If you don't know about it sit back and enjoy.

 

 

Our style is unique lyrically but we try to stay in the realm of conscious rap. We are inspired by Kanye West, Common, Blackstar, Jay-Z, and the Clipse to name a  few. We are lyrically driven artists who love artists that can state their points creatively with words.

 

We do frequent soulful instrumentals  because we have strong family ties to early R&B and soul tracks through our various up-bringings. Still we relate to people in an original way that separates us from the pack by our life experiences and the ways we view them. It's new and fresh idealogy that we bring to the table.

My favorite performance was at The Pageant in St. Louis. We had an opportunity to perform during another local talent's set. It was our first real exposure in a concert setting. I was nervous but it was more of anticipation rather than fear. We performed "The Theme" produced by J-Dubb which was released on our Rotationists Mixtape  Volume I.

 

Being on stage with all eyes on you and seeing the crowd react to your lyrics and movements was an adrenaline rush. I knew we had something special because we had no buzz at the time and no one knew of us but yet we rocked the crowd instantly. It felt like we made an impact that night which has driven us to get better after every performance since then.

 

OBAMA 08, period

 

The RadioRo are advocates of voting since we were eleigible to vote. This issue is so important because if more people would've voted a few years back, we wouldnt be in the state we're in now as a country. The time is now, CHANGE is here, and the RadioRo supports Obama.

 

"That One 08", puntos

 

                                                              

 

We all have projects that are either finished or being worked on at this moment:

DPP: My album, "My Life on A Track" is actually finished but im still creating music that may go on it on not. My album is a look into my life from when I started rhyming till now. Alot of storytelling and personal expression of my inner most thoughts.

 

AJ the Sensation: His album, "Couch Time" is still in the process of being completed. It is on a theraputic theme of his life situations. Very conversational so you can easily get into it.

 

Beezy: "Burning Bush" is an in your face look at trials and tribulations that a person can go through and a testiment of how to rise from the ashes. A truly awe inspiring album.

 

Rotationists: We all are working on a compilation called, "The Saviors". It will showcase all of us individually as well as a unit. Its more of just classic Rotationist's songs compiled together to make you feel good about music.

 

RadioRo: "Lyrical Lessons" is next to come from the Ro. AJ and DPP combine again to make a follow up to "Heavy Rotation". This album is a show of hip hop at its finest. Truly a gem.

 

That's just a taste of what's in store from the RadioRo. We will also keep you posted of upcoming live shows as well.

My biggest musical influence is 2pac. He was extremely versatile and could make you feel each one of his songs through his lyrics. He was an open book, which intrigued many to watch his life and they could find things that they could relate to. People gravitated towards Pac rather you hated or loved him, and i respected that the most about him.

 

I also love the oldschool r&b/soul artists. They told a story through their music which was emotion driven which I used in my music today. It helps the audience connect to your message. Gives them something they can feel...something they can relate to. I'm all about connecting to the listener. Music is a platform that can be used to get you through tough times as well as make you feel good. So when you hear DPP on a track, you're about to hear something I went through personally or lived to see with my own eyes. 

 

 

Hip Hop is a freedom of expression. What I love the most about the genre is that you can do or say whatever you feel at that moment and not be look upon as different or weird. Hip Hop touches such a wide range of people and cultures and bridges a lot of gaps among various societies. It's truly a melting pot.
