Rocker Album Cover

“My engineer J (VJ OZ), had came back from on tour with MSTRKRFT and was very inspired by his recent trip to L.A. as well as the tour. He wanted to make something for their scene but with a different feel so he asked me to jump over a very basic version of what’s now Rocker.

So I spit a hook I had in my head for a single I wanted to make. I had a good idea the type of beat I wanted it over and Rocker wasn’t it. But J convinced me to spit also spit a verse for it, and next time I came in the studio..about 2 days later, OZ had produced the track up and also auto tuned my hook with some other plug ins as well so it sounded different then the norm. I spit my new verse I’d brought with me and he thought it was stronger than the other verse I had spit the first night, so I listen to the beat for 30 mins and then made what’s now the 1st verse – and the rest was history.

All in all I never envisioned making a track like that and 2nd, never envisioned EVER doing auto tune or any plug ins on my voice. But as you can hear, I think it sounds pretty good.”
