Based in the California Bay Area and aligned closely with E-40, Rock began earning major credits in 1996, when he contributed tracks to both 2Pac s All Eyez on Me and 40 s Hall of Game.In the years to follow, he cranked out productions mainly for West Coast rappers like Keak da Sneak, Spice 1, and Xzibit; however, he also worked with mainstream artists like Will Smith, Fabolous, and Method Man.
He eventually signed a contract with Virgin Records to present a group of his own, Federation. The group debuted in 2003, releasing the single Hyphy, whose title would soon become the common stylistic tag for Bay Area rap of the E-40 variety.

With Rick Rock on the beat, you know the tracks are gonna be fire Grab your copy of Rick Rocks Rick Rock Beats over on Amazon or iTunes now. Ive always associated Rick Rock with Vallejo, CA thanks to all the tracks hes done for E-40 over the years. That was wrong. Rock actually hails from Montgomery, Alabama and got famous in Fairfield. Its actually a stones throw away from V-A, 23 miles by the map (and probably much longer in traffic). Its only a couple miles further out, but its an important enough distinction for Rock to use the intro of Rick Rock Beats to tell you about his home turf. Rick Rock Rick Rock Beats Zip Full Album OfThe title threw me off because I was expecting a full album of exactly what it promises Rick Rocks beats. I envisioned it in my head as a greatest hits of all the songs Rick Rock produced for Yay Area rap stars, presented as instrumentals so we could more fully appreciate them. Instead this is a coming out party for Rick Rock as a lyricist, declaring himself the Northern Cali King of Slappers or N.C.K.O.S. Diamond D, Large Professor and another Rock named Pete are among the few who come to mind. Despite not being known for his bars he quickly establishes himself as a spitter over his own booming bass and crashing cymbals, adding a nice layer of distortion to his own vocal mix while showing (forgivable) similarity to E-40 in terms of slanguage and flow. Hes even portraying his music as crossover in a whole different way than we usually associate with the word: Its kind of hard when youre theorizin with the thugsHalf my niggaz call me cuz, half my niggaz call my bloodNobody gave me st I got my mind up out the mudI started super slappin got my mind up out the clubs. Starting with Still Going Dumb he starts to slowly introduce his heavy hitters into the mix, though I got briefly distracted from that by a sample similar to X-Clans Grand Verbalizer, What Time Is It After I got past that mental synapse firing I got down to appreciating Goldie Gold and Stressmatic on the mic. Given hes done some big beats for East coast artists like Jay-Z (Change the Game) I wouldnt have been surprised by a bi-coastal presentation, but this album is hella Cali to the core. He does venture as far South as Long Beach to bring in Snoop Dogg on Main Phone and the Slick Rick inspired Moment I Feared but so far as I can tell he never leaves the Golden States outline. Its not the track on Rick Rock Beats I would have chosen to drop as a single or make a music video for, but not because its a BAD track. Its got a dark ominous sound that shows off Rick Rocks serious chops as a producer and emcee, giving him instant credibility in this latest endeavor, but this is also about as far from a typical Rock slapper as one of his songs can possibly get. As much as I enjoy the horrorcore sound I cant really picture bumping it in the whip or tearing the roof off to it in a club. Rock gets funkier than the Gap Band on Check They Temperature, lets Ishmael the Rebel get some shine on the uplifting Wake Up, and pounds the 808 bass hard on the Rather Be Me with the surprisingly insightful line That Im a real nigga st is overrated if you cant be consistent. Hes not going to win awards for the best flow, most charisma or best storytelling, but he exceeds being competent to (dare I say it) come off a bit nice. Im way past surprised to the point of actually encouraging you to check it out for yourself, particularly if youve always enjoyed his booming tracks as much as I do.
