On Tha Rise….

Rising from the streets of southeast San Diego California Brotha Rock triumphs over the street violence that once held him captive. His victory translates into a sound that was shaped by his trials and tribulations which is now called “Soul Funk” (AKA positive ghetto music).

Leaving the gang bangin behind “Rock” is well respected by his peers for not being afraid to do his own thang! Becoming wiser, he did what he had to do to change the steps he was making toward an untimely demise. Inspired by the birth of his children and the idea of Fatherhood he changed his fate into music. His life story is summarized in his hit single “CLOSED EYEZ”…..listen on myspace.com/brotharock.
