ROLLIN ROCKERS invasion

The new collabo project between Lush One and Plex Rock of DelMon called Rollin Rockers has a more alternative and electronic leaning than their previous material with even better bars. These guys are about to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry especially due to their dynamic live shows/parties. They have already sold out several venues throughout France with their label/DJ Crew Chinese Man Records who are making huge waves as one of Europe's prime indie labels.

Hailing from California, the Rollin Rockers are the internationally respected duo of two very unique and charismatic MCs- Plex Rock and Lush One. Their style is edgy, innovative, genre-bending, bass heavy music that both rock the party and warp the wind with top notch lyricism and vocal styling. They are able to experiment with many different influences (from electronic music to rock and everything in between) while still staying true to their signature sound. From house parties to sold out arenas, The Rollin Rockers will make any function more exciting- these two friends and lifelong collaborators are natural entertainers and experienced Masters of Ceremony.

Signed to Chinse Man Records in France, working with Coconuts Ent. in the US, in less than a month this group is already on the fast track for success (having already rocked several sold out shows overseas before ever performing under their current moniker on American soil). The Rockers branched off from their original group- the cultishly popular underground hip-hop outfit DelMon Crew- and enlisted a network of talented friends and collaborators to help take their vision to the next level. Producers Phillipdrummond, Sly D, Perpetuum and MC/singer Roch among others have already began Rollin with the Rockers as they shape and define their sonic essence. In addition to their work with the group they both serve as icons and leaders on the Fresh Coast scene they pioneered through Lush's role as CEO and President of Grind Time Now, the largest battle movement in hip-hop history. The Rockers' greatest strength is how the two MCs play off each other and offset one another's styles in a cohesive and engauging manner. They aren't afraid to have fun and be themselves. Catch them now before everybody hops on the good ol' bandwagon.. Bangbang rock on..

LUSH ONE's beef with MR. ATLA ...the biggest ethering of all-time

The rough mix a new Lush One song 'Petty' that is a diss track and has gotten a lot of attention since it dropped afew days ago. Less than 2 hours in the studio but it seems like their was quite a bit of anger channeled into this song.

The song was produced by Ness Lee. An amazing producer/artist from Atlanta who is producing Lush One's album in its entirety.

LYRICS:

Had I known it’d turn out like this

I never woulda brought him in

I never woulda taught him shit

He never woulda gotten in

Damn I woulda pulled out-

Never shoulda fathered him

Woulda had my bitch go and pop the shit the Doctor give

That morning after abortion pill for when ya didn’t want a kid

He a nutt that I busted and my broad shoulda swallowed it

Raised him from a toddler to the status of a boss legit

But he showed he not legit

Lying pathologically

We only acknowledged him for promises of sponsorship

Turned out false and amounted to a pile of shit

Attracted to my old style

All on it like flies on shit

Boy cried wolf sell ticks (Celtics) on some Boston shit

Shoulda honored opportunities instead he squandered ‘em

Even his own family will not admit they are his friends

He came to Florida

Then he shaked on some Harlem shit

Tried to posture but he couldn’t floss with an awkward twitch

From Compton to The Bronx across the continent they want him dead

Actin like he Oedipus, really wants his father dead

Motherfucker got some daddy issues aint it obvious

Tried to infiltrate the squad now everybodys on his head

Ima burn the Trojan horse before that bitch hop out of it

He will never receive the joy I get from accomplishments

He don’t rep his region they don’t want him as a congressman

Sprung to life in Spring, by the Fall he snapped like Autumn twigs

Hes a liar cant live by his words (yeah that’s Petty)

Hes a snitch, evidence he will turn (yeah that’s Petty)

He’ll sell his soul just to stack afew ends (yeah that’s Petty)

He chose fame over family and friends (yeah that’s Petty)

Instead of walkin it the boy would rather talk shit (that’s Petty)

Instead of mannin up the bitch would rather gossip (that’s Petty)

Instead of earnin it the toy would rather floss it (that’s Petty)

Instead of chunkin have his bitch do all his squabbling (that’s Petty)

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

Im everything your not and that’s the reason they respect me

You could never be one tenth of me they seein you a dead beat

Whats in a name, his whole claim to fame is Petty

He a fake, he a dame, he a lame Snitch Petty

Coulda had a spot up on the team but now he on the bench

He faker than the collagen his brittle broad wants for lips

And shes only with him cuz the other fellas dogged the bitch

Mikey V. shoulda put her to sleep when the broad got bit

I find hella pompous how he always showin off and shit

Tryna floss big and play the roll for all the project kids

Aint got a pot to piss in and he tryna hi side on them

This fraud a privileged frat house brat child college prick

Fraudulent, delusional, selling dreams of fool’s gold

Price tag attached to his soul- that’s the proof it sold

Does his wifey know about them credit card charges yet?

How they in debt on they crib he opened second mortgages

Now they even late on the payments of her mamma’s crib

At least that’s what he told me, oh wait, I thought he ballin? Shiiit

I apologize, I was blind enough to doubt my friends

They all thought he was a punk I used my clout to vouch for him

His wife wears the levis

She shoulda advises him that it would be wise

To leave guys like Nick alone and realize

Hes a different breed don’t meet your demise- mark!

He aint a vet but Im a classic like Ferrari Mondial

He shine was temporary dog he needs some more Armor All

He got issues so he aint Offishal like Kardinal

Ima Expos how he lost his franchise like Montreal

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

Im everything your not and that’s the reason they respect me

You could never be one tenth of me they seein you a dead beat

Whats in a name, his whole claim to fame is Petty

He a fake, he a dame, he a lame Snitch Petty

The audacity, to actually

Think that he could last in the

Scene crowned me as a king

After he went bad on the

Dad who breathed, life into his lungs and made his status peak

Thought he’d have a pass after he shitted on the staff and team

Apparently hes used to dealing with them bustas that’s his steez

Cannot be himself so he plays the role like Ali G.

Serves a playa right for always tryna take in stray dogs

Now he tryna score but Ill block his shot like Blaylock

He aint one of us he 9 to 5in with a a day job

Im determining his fate and now I gotta play God

He the type to leave his codefendant rotting in a cell

While the petty Snitch Pettys out, flossin wit the bail

Tried to play the damn fool

Frontin like he that smooth

Using skrilla that aint got, to join a rap group

Im on his head no shampoo

Hes tryna be the man who

Puts his favorite rapper on a plane and buys him tattoos

Im goin easy on him on this song, I got more to say

If you still fuck with him I warned you mayen that’s your mistake

Found his relevance, when he got announced as president

By me- but he fucked up and now this clown is celibate

Some are snakes, can’t confront their problems like a man

So they hide up in the garden til I spot ‘em in the grass

Game stronger, captivate them like a snake charmer

And now this serpent shall slither no longer

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

That’s Petty, Petty, you so Petty

Im everything your not and that’s the reason they respect me

You could never be one tenth of me they seein you a dead beat

Whats in a name, his whole claim to fame is Petty

He a fake, he a dame, he a lame Snitch Petty
