Out of the City of Roses, Portland OR, comes a refreshing sound rising up from the underground. From mix tapes to milk crates, comes Rocket One, an undeniably talented emcee (MC) that transcends the gimmickry and propaganda of commercial rap music. Rocket One possesses an original style that can't be bound by singular categorization. His positive, uplifting, and conscious music, raises eyebrows, provokes action, and inspires a new generation of Hip-Hop music fans searching for a breath of fresh air. If you haven't heard of Rocket One, you haven't been listening.
Rocket One has shared the stage with artists such as KRS ONE, Slick Rick, Dead Prez, Blackalicious, Kool Keith, Jean Grae, Erykah Badu, Atmosphere, Murs, Brother Ali, Eyedea & Abilities, Pep Love (Hieroglyphics), 2-Mex, DJ Qbert, Abstract Rude, Swollen Members, Styles of Beyond, and Sleep of Oldominion.
"To me, Rocket's music reminds me of a visionary's memoirs. It's definitely something I haven't heard, especially coming from Portland (Oregon). I don't think I can describe his sound by saying it sounds like this person mixed with a little bit of that person. He's way beyond that. I guess the only way for you to really find out is to do yourself a favor, sit down, and listen to what he has to say. All I know is that Rocket's music gives me hope that out there beyond the radio static is some good music, just waiting to be discovered." DJ Emvepe (Portland, OR)
