Hello my name is… gel roc...pronounced with a hard g...like gangster...not like george bush...
I was raised in…southern california...greater los angeles area...all city...
The reason that you’re reading about me is…because I make hip hop for the world....
Right now I’m working on... pushing the new E Time Two (Ex2) record, 'Resurgence' & my free mixtape with Awol One, 'Life Before Death'.
But I’d rather be… in the studio 100 on the next but I wear many hats...
My most prized possessions are… my music collection and time....
But I’d give it all away for… greater value, good luck with that.
The first thing I do in the morning is… hit the snooze.
The last thing I do at night is…kiss my wife.
My momma always said… fuck that bitch!
I love it when people… can teach me something about something. Just know, that I have a bullshit filter....
I hate it when people… ask me shit I don't know the answer to...don't ask me that shit.
If you ever see me walking down the street… offer me a ride damn it...
My most notable run-in with the law… was featured on 20/20 when I was a kid...2nd most damage ever done to a CA. hwy for vandalism...True story....
Los Angeles Street Demons. (C) 2010. Check out the graff book "The history of Los Angeles Graffiti Art" Vol.1. Elika's page as the reference.
If I had to say sorry it would be because… I deem it appropriate not you... good luck with that...
I get real aggro when… when shit don't line up...keep it real with me and we're straight you crooked as mutherfuckers..
The last time I swore I’d never drink was after a night of…gambling with the devil...true story.
Future projects and plans… my next solo record, 'Beautful Tragedy' produced by Xzcircles of Escape Artists. My label Abolano Records will be dropping the new Vyrus(Ex2) solo album 'Silent Kaos' produced by Rezult (TreeDuskMuir) and a couple other records we are excited about.
And before I leave I’d like to give a shout out to… to my crews Leaving Self Destructive & E TIMES TWO (EX2)...and everyone who's down with us. visit abolanorecords.com / facebook.com/abolanorecords / gelroc.bandcamp.com / youtube.com/gelroc / facebook.com/gelroc
