Rockie Fresh - Driving 88
Artist: Rockie Fresh
Featuring: Casey Veggies
Producer: Mansur
Album: Driving 88
Label: Maybach Music/Warner Bros.
You’re not going to slide a Back to the Future reference by an ‘80s baby who spent more time with Doc Brown than his own father growing up. Rockie Fresh may only be barely out of his teens, but the young man’s obviously got the heart of an older head as he hops in the DeLorean for his new title track Driving 88. On the cooly grinding track producer Mansur serves up a minimalistic beat that makes every note count, giving Rockie and guest Casey Veggies instrumental ammunition to fire off. Speaking of which, Rockie and Casey form a Chicago to L.A. alliance on 88, taking turns explaining just why their swag is so futuristic and fresh, pausing only long enough to make a well-timed 1998 NBA Finals reference: “Like Rodman I’m on my hustle / you shook up like Bryon Russell.” If this one has you down to ride with Rockie be sure to grab some plutonium from the Libyans, load up the Mr. Fusion and listen to the future when Driving 88 (the album) arrives on January 23.

Rockie has grown on me with one song, only to take a step back on the next. I hope 2012 brings more consistency to his free releases. There is too much of a good thing sometimes. This title-track is back to the good side, though, as its vibe is fun and the guest work from Casey is solid.

This is slick right here. I like Rockie's flow on here and this beat is knockin. I'll bump this in the ride as soon as I get back on the road later. Good work.

the music has progressed, but his rhymes are just bland, punchlines are kinda predictable, ive tried to give it objective listens but it seems like he needs to really dig deep creatively to reach the stand-out level especially as a chicago artist. nonetheless i respect the grind and effort put into his movement.
