How to write about Hip Hop part 8

There’s a lot of young talent coming out of the Thizz Camp. Another new artist to the Thizz Roster is, Rockola A.K.A. Nat Kin Cola. Rock as they call him on the streets, does graphic art, & hip/hop. He’s originally from San Francisco CA, and started selling painted T-shirts out of backyards in Richmond, CA. More and more people started to recognize his talent locally, until he got a buzz. Now Rock works with fellow Thizz graphic artists Cosmo & Stretch. He also hooked up with producer Gennessee at Noble House to record his Solo album, which has yet to be released. On top of that M.I.S.T.A.H. F.A.B. had a role in bringing them all together. It’s like a family affair over there at Thizz. Rockola wants to start working on a line of T-shirts sporting a lot of different images of Mac Dre. He’s currently working with a graphics company out of Oakland, CA, called Legends. He dropped a single a while back called “It’s my Life”, he’s got a new one coming out called “Back & Forth” featuring M.I.S.T.A.H. F.A.B., he’s got another one called “Showin Out” both produced by Gennessee. He’s wrapping up his first Solo album coming out pretty soon.
He say’s he’s been rapping and doing graffiti art for over 10 years now. So he’s a seasoned vet at a young age. He hooked up with the right cats and got his foot in the door. It’s good for Hip/Hop because some people think that hip/hop is just rapping over a beat. They don’t think about the graphic artist that makes the album cover, or wraps the team van, or designs the clothing line. So thank god for our graphic artist, if they weren’t here, where would hip/hop be?
