We met DJ T-Rock on Sunday, when we filmed an interview with him for the New Zealand Dance Chart (NZDC). He was over from the States for this year's college & university Orientation tour which had taken him to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dundedin. I've not met many Hip Hop guys being more into the dance scene but he was throughly lovely, and didn't have a scrap of bling about him.
T-Rock's album Hip Hop Sundae is available from CD Baby, and is a mixture of Hip Hop, Rock, Turntablism, Funk, Soul, Breakbeat, Mixing, Scratchin', Party Rockin, 45s, 12 inches, old stuff and new. I've had a listen to a few of the tracks and it's well funky, plus it's worth checking out Who's Your Daddy and Sikinthehead his one of a kind DVD. It has gained rave reviews and features multiple music video's, comedy skits, and even a short film starring T-Rock himself.
You can see why he won the "Best Goddamn DJ award" from Hiphopslam.com in 2003, as well as being voted among the 5 best hip hop DJ’s in the world in a recent internet poll at www.thedjlist.com T-Rock also has a new release out on Why Records called 'Rock & Squash Techniques' with Atlanta producer and M.C. Squashy Nice. You can buy it online from Marbecks.com.
Very nice. Keep up the good work.
