Success in the music industry is notoriously difficult. Whether it be the obstacle of not having the backing of a major label, or the lack of respect and support from superstar rappers and fans alike, the road to stardom is far from easy. Many people have fallen at the hands of these hardships.
One man who has thrived in these conditions is California rapper Roccett.
Born Jerome Rockett in 1983, and raised in the rugged streets of Carson, Calif., the 22-year-old MC learned about hustling and working hard at a young age. The rough surroundings of crime and gangs in Carson molded Roccett into a strong individual, and gave him the necessary experience to share the struggles of what many people face. After his initial dream of a basketball career didn’t materialize, he discovered he had a passion for hip-hop at the age of 16. With his eyes clearly set on his new goal, he began laying out the foundation for his success by performing shows throughout Los Angeles.
Coming from the west coast, a region that has produced stars like Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre, N.W.A and many more, and famous for its unique lifestyle, Roccett embodies what many west coast rap fans love, while at the same time displaying a versatility that makes him appealing to hip-hop fans across the world.
His charisma and strong stage presence, combined with his ability to craft stories about a wide array of subjects earned the young rapper the respect of fans and caused the industry to take notice.
His talent and drive caught the attention of Green Up Entertainment in 2004, and his partnership with the company, which has worked with notables like Usher and Tupac, has produced a sizable buzz. Having already worked with established stars like Young Jeezy, Fabolous, Killer Mike, Knoc’turn’al and other rising rappers like Bishop Lamont and Spider Loc at this young stage of his career, as well as having critically acclaimed mixtapes under his belt, Roccett’s talent is clear.
With so many dues paid, his industry knowledge and the groundwork set, Roccett is poised to make a lasting impression on hip-hop.

**NEW**
What Up West Coast. Through the past couple of years weve brought you all the exclusives on one of Californias hottest young rappers, Roccett. From studio sessions, show coverage and countless songs, to our hit mixtape with him, West Coast Most Wanted, and the most recent offering, Green Up/Hustln Hard, West Coast Rydaz and Roccett have been quite a force in the West Coast underground scene. Roccetts hard work and tremendous drive for success quickly catapulted his name into one of the hottest commodities and he was able to turn that buzz into a group album deal with CTE West, the label of Da Snowman himself, Young Jeezy. Having the backing of one the biggest rappers in the country is in itself a strong seal of approval, but as usual Roccett did not waste any time celebrating and instead hit the studio to record the second installment of his West Coast Rydaz mixtape series, West In Full.
Shouts to Roccett and everyone involved in making this project come together. Its a must have so dont sleep and get left out!
