Biography:

Washington, DC is arguably the most powerful city on the planet. That statement is reflected in the chaotic rush hours of the metropolis, the hordes of tourists, and the countless protests that exist in the president’s backyard. The city is such a fascinating, influential place to be. Yet many fear it because it held the title as the “Murder Capital of the World’ for years. Hip hop is one of the most effective, transformative mediums available and yet it’s also often associated with fear because some of its most significant artists had criminal lifestyles and messages. Rosetta Stoned was fertilized by both DC & hip hop and their music and lyrics are beautiful expressions of their lifelong internal struggles.

A crowd of fans pack a dimly lit club. They’re staring uncontrollably, simultaneously perplexed and mesmerized as the two men on stage seem to be inciting a riot. Drinks are spilled, the aggression builds, sweat drips, and heart rates increase. In the rear of the club, people at the bar comment on the insanity while noticing how eloquent and witty the songs are. For someone walking in on the performance, caution may be their first reaction. But for someone who’s seen a Rosetta Stoned live set, they know it’s a safe house for artistic expression. It’s like walking through a violent neighborhood with the safety of a third-person perspective. They’re terrorized stages with the likes of The Beatnuts, Boot Camp Clic, Raheem DeVaughn, DJ Drama, Yo Majesty!, Does It Offend You Yeah?, Percee P, Subtle, The Game Rebellion, Asheru, Kev Brown, Zion I & The Grouch, Glue, Qwel, Sol.ill.aquists of Sound, C-Rayz Walz, Josh Martinez & Sleep, Joe Beats, Time Machine, Crunc Tesla, Akir, etc.

With hundreds of shows under their belts, the duo has experienced the passion of Californians, the ironic warmth of fans in Quebec , and the love that Europeans have for good music. The time has come for their debut project, I Bet You Can’t Pray When You’re Dead, to finally be released. The album is a scenic stroll through the psyche of two artists who are heavily influenced by the likes of Nietzsche, Voltaire, Gandhi, & Malcolm X. They’ve collaborated with many notable independent artists such as Yo Majesty (Dominoe Records), Curse Ov Dialect (Mush Records), Crunc Tesla aka DJ Raedawn (Tigerbeat6), and more.

Their sound is a cutting edge hybrid of various genres. Pulling from electro-crunk and classic hip hop, Rosetta Stoned infuses progressive soundscapes, psychedelic rock, and dubstep. The music is unorthodox and intense, with an emphasis on narratives, polysyllabic rhyme schemes, wordplay, and stylistic experimentation.

What others are saying:

Alexandrah (Sol.illaquists of Sound | Anti Records)
"With aggressive and poetic visions conveyed through rhyme, Rosetta Stoned creates an audio landscape of rarely chartered mental terrain."

Icon the Mic King (Internationally respected emcee)
"Rosetta Stoned defies convention and delivers high energy performances. Shouts to them for keeping the DC scene alive"

Joe Beats (Non-Prophets | Bully Records)
"Rosetta Stoned's in your face, grab you by the throat energy and ethic are EXACTLY what's due in a landscape saturated with ironic, back handed, ingratiating geekery."

Mestizo (Galapagos4)
"Rosetta Stoned or better known as check ya dome. Better be ready for'em or get let alone when this hellish home is set to blow."

Sleep (Oldominion | Chicharones)
"Rosetta Stoned has one of the best hi-impact shows in hip hop. Don't sleep on Rosetta Stoned!"

May Mayhem!









Last month's semifinal game between Scare Force One and the Cherry Blossom Bombshells came down to a nail-biting double overtime, and the Bombshells are trying to carry that momentum to vanquish the fierce DC DemonCats, who haven't lost a game since October. This exciting season championship matchup will be the last DC Rollergirls home game until the fall, so don't miss out!



In addition, fans can watch an expo matchup between Scare Force One and the River City Rollergirls of Richmond, VA, and check out Jason Leffler's #38 NASCAR showcar. Plus, in honor of Mother's Day, moms will get a gift at the door!



It's tailgating season, so come early to Stadium/Armory Lot 3 and get a head start on the fun! The lot opens at 3 p.m.



Tickets are available in advance through Ticketmaster (service charge applies), at the RFK Stadium box office and at the door on bout day.
