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..

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
Shoulda honored opportunities instead he squandered ‘em
Even his own family will not admit they are his friends
He came to
Then he shaked on some
Tried to posture but he couldn’t floss with an awkward twitch
From
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
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
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
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
