Name: Ghost X Rocdwell
Album Title: The Beautiful Grind
Release Date: Tuesday, November 12, 2013
Additional Info: Ghost and Rocdwell is a producer (Ghost) and emcee (Rocdwell) duo. The Beautiful Grind is their first album; a soulful, hip-hop driven blend of music featuring some of the most innovative, lyrical artists in music. Albeit a new artist in the genre, Rocdwell, who hails from Detroit, MI, has been making quality hip-hop for a number of years, and on TBG, he more than matches bars with the likes of some of hip-hop’s best. Roc’s trademark voice, which plays like a low growl, with lyrics & songs steeped in introspection and hope, are accompanied by Ghost, a soulful producer that resides in Atlanta, GA (by way of Tampa, FL.). The album’s subject matter covers a wide range of topics, addressing everything from politics/race (“Revolution is Here” feat. Eshon Burgundy, The One Keon & Gemstones), how money changes people (“No Money Down” feat. J. Johnson), the challenges of making The Beautiful Grind album, and how their friendship was tested in the process (“We Here”). It’s because of their subject matter that Ghost and Rocdwell believe that they make “Life Music.” Musically, they believe what better way to honor God than to make music that inspires one to live a better life by following the example of His Son.
