Welcome and thanks for visiting the Mr. Roush myspace page!
Ryan David Roush a.k.a. Mr. Roush is best known as the driving force behind the critically-acclaimed Southern Illinois underground rap group Sic1Eight. The group's ground-breaking debut album So ILL, released in May 2007, enjoyed enormous underground and crossover success and has been hailed one of the best independent hip hop albums of this decade. In July 2008, Sic1Eight competed in LG's www.rallyformusic.com global "battle of the bands" contest, finishing as the 9th ranked vote getter out of more than 8,000 artists competing worldwide.
But long before Sic1Eight was born, Mr. Roush was a prolific solo artist. Since 2001, he has produced and recorded over 175 songs and released three cutting-edge independent albums - In Between The Lines (2002), Pimpin' My Pen (2003) and Parlay (2005).The Pimpin' My Pen album spent four months as the top selling hip hop/rap album on www.mp3.com - the world's leading forum for independent musicians at the time. In total, Mr. Roush's albums have sold over 4,000 copies between online and direct street sales.
After spending the last three years developing the signature Sic1Eight sound, Mr. Roush has decided that it's finally time to deliver his long-awaited and highly-anticipated fourth solo album. Titled FLOWETRY, the songs above are just a sample of what's in store for the album.
We had planned to release FLOWETRY in time for the 4th of July, but unfortunately Mr. Roush's house and studio sustained major damage in the June Midwestern floods. As a result, the album release date had to be pushed back... UPDATE: Mr. Roush is back in his crib and the studio is back up and running. The FLOWETRY album is finally completed will be released on Aug 8, 2008... 08/08/08! It will be available for online purchase right here at the Mr. Roush myspace page at midnight on 08/08/08!
A special message from Mr. Roush: "To my loyal fans and the Mr. Roush Street Team... Thanks a million for supporting me over the years. It means everything to me that you love my music as much as I love making it. Always know that I make this music for YOU. Without you, I have no reason to step in the booth. Great news. FLOWERY is finally finished and will be available for purchase right here on 08/08/08! I know it's been a long time coming, but I know you won't be disappointed when you hear it! The flood set us back a minute, but we're back in the mix now! So post some bulletins, tell your friends & family, shoot some e-mail & text blasts, etc - I appreciate anything you can do to help me hype FLOWETRY. Remember... 08/08/08. With your help, I think we can take it the next level with this one."
