New York-based rapper, actor, and producer Rocket hasn’t dropped music in over a year. His previous tracks were remixes and more geared toward women, and although decent, didn’t show his true skills. The young talent is back after the hiatus with a rousing, fast paced song titled 5AM. The CashMoneyAp produced track showcases the energy and lyrical skills that Rocket has always had, but for some … Continue reading After A Year’s Hiatus, New York’s Rocket Drops His Most Impressive Track Yet In “5AM”

The audio dropped over 4 months ago and has organically racked up … Continue reading Baritone Vocalist Myes Cameron Shows Us The Dark Side Of Being An Artist In “caged bird” (New Music Video)
