It's been a long time since I've been back here. I'm here celebrating my birthday with a friend and some family. Really excited to spend the week here and just unwind and relax from all the stressful things going on at work and school. Going to chill by the beach with a drink in hand and listen to the waves crash.A-Rochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659927227693923351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668336690146599752.post-25233062549472975112019-09-20T11:17:00.001-07:002019-09-20T11:17:24.659-07:00Back Like I Never Left<div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi...It's been a while...</span></h2>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A-Roc & A Hard Place and I are in the process of finishing up our album. We have been working on it for the better part of a half a decade. We've always had issues with scheduling and getting all of the instruments recorded. We finally were able to get the vocals and recorded just this past year. So now its all about getting the last of guitar recorded then we can get everything mixed and mastered. Then it goes into the other facets of the putting the album together like the track order, the album art and the promotion.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm going to be so happy once this process is over for this album as it has been a labor of love to get it done. It has defiantly been fun and stressful. I know now how to do it the proper way for the next one....if there is a next one.</span></div>

Real inspirational and motivation for aspiring musicians. I can only hope that I could ever put on a show of that magnitude and that good.<br /><br /><br /><br />Also I'm diggin the Blueprint 3. He did it again folks. "What We Talking bout, Thank You, Empire State of Mind, So Ambitious" Theses are classics. The main thing that I love is that he grows with his music. Its not about the same thing over and over. As he matures so does the music. So with that I gotta go hard on my music going forward. Laziness has been a plague in my life over that last few months, even though I have been recording. Time to get it down to business as the business man should.<br /><br /><br /><br />Show me some love and light the fire under my ass...lol<br /><br /><br /><br />Peace & Much Love,<br /><br /><br /><br />A-RocA-Rochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659927227693923351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668336690146599752.post-85736844859601060822009-08-23T17:46:00.000-07:002009-08-23T17:49:30.498-07:00In LondonSo Folks I'm in the UK for the past few days...its been quite the experience. with one more day to get thru I plan on doing it up big.

How did you feel when you got backstage?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I felt fine at first and then it all went down hill. I couldn't remember anything about the match or what happened that day.</span><br /><br />*How do you feel now?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I'm doing fine now. I'm still recovering at home.</span><br /><br /><br />*What caused the injury during the match?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Punt Kick did me in. My own moved used against me. Talk about irony.</span><br /><br />*Do you feel your concussion was the ultimate downfall for you in your match?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yes. I was completely out of it after that. I'm sure if I didn't suffer an injury in the match I would have came out victorious just like I said I would.</span><br /><br /><br />*With the King of the Yard tournament staring at the next event, are you going to be ready to compete and cleared by July 12th?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I can't be certain. I'm talking it over with my doctor. It is still to early to get a determination on that. As far as my mind state goes, I feel I will be ready to compete by then. I can only remain positive.</span><br /><br />*The King of the Yard will crown a new #1 contender for the Heavyweight title, do you plan on getting that and going after Rebel again?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">If I'm able to compete, I would like to do nothing more than to become King of the Yard and take back what is mine and that's the NoW Heavyweight Title.</span><br /><br />*Now that you have had your rematch for the Heavyweight title that ended with a loss, what's next for A-Roc in New Omega Wrestling and King of the Yard?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rebel is lucky that I sufferd an injury. That is the only reason why I loss. Without me in the main event picture, I don't see my future any dimmer, I see NoW's future not so bright. I will continue to be #1 with or without the belt.</span><br /><br />*The other member of Bomb Squad, Frost had a losing battle against Havik for the Xtreme title. How do you feel about that and their match?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Frost went out there and took Havik to limit. Although Frost lost, he showed that he could hang in an Xtreme match time and time again. This time he didn't pull through he still had a hell of a match.</span><br /><br /><br />*Any chance we will see Bomb Squad (A-Roc & Frost) in another tag team match?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Yeah. Its a great possibility. Our chemesty is there and we have similar wrestling styles. No one can deny we are a force in NoW.</span><br /><br />*You guys are singles competitors first right? Is there any chance we could see Bomb Squad as NoW Tag Team champions?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We are single competitors, but as you know I have always been a team player. Any one can look at my NoW career and see that. If you are prepared to see the tag division get a wake up call then the Bomb Squad is the team to do it. NoW Tag Team Championships are just in our reach if we wanted them.<br /></span><br /><br />*Thank you for your time A-Roc, we hope your recovery goes well and we hope to see you in the ring at the next show. Is there any last thing you would like to add or say to all the people reading this?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">No matter if you like me or hate me, you can't deny that I am the elite wrestler out of the whole roster.

Last year was a great start for me with good momentum for self growth and my music...I definitely had fun and learned a lot about life. Certainly not everything, but a lot of experiences with or thru other people and with just myself.<br /><br />Musically I had to really count on me for inspiration and the desire to do things by myself since i was no longer part of a group. Being Solo allowed me to pursue topics I wanted to talk about and have the freedom to do what i wanted when i wanted. Not like I didn't have that before but it was just made official.<br /><br />I truly was a solo artist and i began doing shows just billed as "A-Roc". I got radio play on regular and internet radio, did about 10 shows, nominated for Best New Artist in the I.E., Collaborated with an Indie Band Etcetera Etcetera, and released my mixtape The Start-Up.<br /><br />All in all i have to say that I was pretty successful in my 1st year of just going out on my own. That's why I plan on making this year even better and becoming more successful in Music and my other interest. Thanks to all of you that made these things possible and believed in me cuz without you I couldn't have done all these things.<br /><br />Well until next time Peace & Much Love to Ya.<br /><br />A-RocA-Rochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659927227693923351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668336690146599752.post-6347465783565133732009-01-20T03:03:00.000-08:002009-01-20T03:04:50.417-08:00My President is Black and Jay says it too<object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2880630&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2880630&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/">Jay-Z My President is black Remix LIVE 1-18-09</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1042935">pleasedontstare</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.<br /><br />I love this ish right here...Change in Honor of our 1st Black....I mean African American President Barack ObamaA-Rochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659927227693923351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668336690146599752.post-21798544509919601062008-12-28T21:33:00.000-08:002008-12-28T21:35:27.351-08:00A-Roc Weekly Update Xclusive: A-Roc Performace Pt. 1<object width="400" height="302"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2647586&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2647586&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=00adef&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="302"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://vimeo.com/2647586">A-Roc Weekly Update Xclusive: A-Roc Performance Pt.1</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user558058">A-Roc</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.A-Rochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659927227693923351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668336690146599752.post-23875817841669112722008-12-19T09:19:00.001-08:002008-12-19T09:19:38.598-08:00A-Roc Mailing List Sign-Up<br /><img src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/buffer.gif" height="4" width="434" /><br/><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/11/fancollector.swf?page_object_id=artist_340174&backgroundcolor=4D4A4A&font_color=000000&posted_by=artist_340174" height="100" width="434" > </embed><br/><a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/11/340174/Artist/340174/Artist/link"><img alt="A-Roc" border="0" height="19" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/content/11/footer.png" width="434" /></a><br/><img src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/buffer.gif" height="4" /><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://www.reverbnation.com/widgets/trk/11/artist_340174/artist_340174/t.gif"><a href="http://www.quantcast.com/p-05---xoNhTXVc" target="_blank"><img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-05---xoNhTXVc.gif" style="display: none" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt="Quantcast"/></a><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.11NXC/bHQ9MTIyOTcwNjkxMjMwNCZwdD*xMjI5NzA3MTY*ODg5JnA9MjcwODEmZD1mYW4lNUZjb2xsZWN*b3IlNUZmaXJzdCU1RmdlbiZuPWJsb2dnZXImZz*xJnQ9.gif" />A-Rochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659927227693923351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668336690146599752.post-69296417764639605642008-12-15T09:25:00.001-08:002008-12-15T09:26:18.530-08:00Ryan Leslie- "How it was Supposed to Be"<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/823_Mspnwf4&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/823_Mspnwf4&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />I'm Digging this song for real...Ryan Leslie is a geniusA-Rochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659927227693923351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668336690146599752.post-83719944997953640392008-12-15T09:19:00.001-08:002008-12-15T09:20:16.132-08:00A-Roc Weekly Update #5A-Roc Weekly Update #5 Ft.

And there are many avenues to do this and most artist take the road of Myspace or other things. But there is one thing that I haven't done but never really wanted to do, and this is mostly pertaining to Rappers. That is tryna get people to listen to your CD & sell your CD on the street. WHY!!! Why do these "Artist" think that people care about your music enough to stop whatever they are doing to listen to your MUSIC???!!! I mean your basically cold shopping your music to whomever is walking on the street, basically judging people by their looks to see if they like your genre. And then pressing them to get and buy your music. What makes you think that they like your music enough to want to buy it after one listen. You have a better chance of selling them while you perform on the street. I'd be more incline to see an artist perform the music and then I buy their music. I just dont get this selling the CD in a Wal-Mart or Best Buy parking lot or a gas station. I know people hate being approched by a stranger in a public situation out the blue. Why do people continue to do this? This mentality of selling the cd out the trunk is good only if YOU HAVE A FAN BASE!!! Otherwise your wasting your time with tryna move your product. I respect the hustle, but also there are smart business moves. I'm just saying...People lets get it rightA-Rochttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14659927227693923351noreply@blogger.com0
