About the artist

Intro/Bio/Resume 

In a male-dominated music industry is difficult for even some of the best rappers to achieve and maintain a relevant position in the hip-hop game. There are many attributes of an artist that must be up to the “cultural” par to gain the respect of not only the listener and industry,but of the competition as well. 

It’s a genre that looks for the baddest, the illest, the most gutter. But it’s all too often that the least threatening artist, the underdog, is the one to takeover the game when the industry least expects it. 

The Rook. 

The underdog in the game of chess by strategy, the Rook is the only piece in the board that 
can castle the king. 

Enter ROOK ROCA. Performing since the age of 14, this white female rapper from Toledo,Ohio was breaking the cultural stereotypes for her artistry before it became acceptable. 

Educated at Adrian University, Rook focused her passion on writing and performing while earning a BA in Business and Marketing. She won Best New Artist at the Ohio Hip Hop Awards 2011 and won Best Rapper on “Put Me On Live” Showcase City tour, Toledo, OH 2011. 

Her accomplishments include opening for Crime Mob in Atlanta of 2009, The Cool Kids and Khia, Plus performing with Calico Jones, the S.O.D Money Gang Entertainment Team, Three Six Mafia's Lil Wyte and Jellyroll.

In October 2011 Rook recorded a demo with Young Money credited songwriter and Creative Director, Evan Roberts (ASCAP). 

”The great mobility of the ROOK forms one of the chief characteristics of all endgame strategy… In the middlegame the ROOK is a mere 'super', in the endgame on the other hand - on of the 'principals'. We must therefore develop her, bring her nearer to the fighting line.”

I ROOK ROCA stand alone, unsigned. I work with many talented artists in the country, but have written all my own lyrics since day one. I have traveled to studios all over, recording, and have encountered the most challenging, yet breath taking experiences ever. I build off of every artist, if not allowing them to build off me. The sky is the limit, and I wanna sit with the stars.

I am a female MC from Toledo, Ohio. I have found a passion for rythym, rhyme scheme, and cadence pattern. I open up a whole new world to future hip hip, and I am prepared for the challenging barriers that I am yet to face within this game of truth and success. Fall down two times, stand up three. Thank you to all who have been following my journey and allowing me to build from your artistic creations.
