Live hip-hop and an audience of smiling faces are rarely seen together nowadays, especially here in Rhode Island. That said; I can’t recall the last time a featured artist kicked off an evening wearing sun-tanning goggles. Romen Rok did exactly that while onstage at Friday night’s Elevation and set the tone for what went on to be an enjoyable, successful open mic night at Firehouse XIII.
Thanks to Rock Solid, who did a fine job of hosting as well as blessing the mic, and Sterby Rock performing scratchutory rape on the tables, the night continued on – and finished – without a moment of silence. Courtesy of some newer names (at least to myself), including Boudy, Wor Paint and Vendetta, and a few of the more recognizable rhyme-slingers, HW, Big City and Mic Feen, the open mic was nicely kept in balance and did a fine job of showcasing the aptitude of our locals.

Elevation got kicked off in the best way possible. After Sterby Rock got the crowd open, our host Rock Solid laced the everyone with some lyrics to let heads know he more than just a pretty face, he is also a talented emcee. The first non staff emcee to grace the stage was fan favorite Romen Rok of Pro Town Records. It’s no secret I’m a big fan of Romen, so to have him set off Elevation for us was an absolute pleasure.
The video was shot by Berto and edited by Mortal. This is our first video of many coming from the October Elevation. Its a bit ruff around the edges, but Romen amazing skills shines through regardless. We have a bunch off media treats coming from Elevation, so stay tuned. This is just the beginning.

Two Shows In Two Nights. Monkey Business at the AS220. Special Teamz at The Living Room. Mortal comes out of hiding.
Rhode Island hip hop was in full effect this past weekend. I attended two shows. While attending hip hop shows seems like a natural activity for a self proclaimed hip hop fan, the fact that I have not been “out” in over six months makes this a monumental occasion … at least for me.
This write up won’t be so much a full blown review of each event. It will be more of a bunch of mini reviews peppered with scathing criticism, bordering on slander, of the Rhode Island Hip Hop scene as a whole. So sit back. Relax. Grab a tall, ice cold glass of grape Hater-Aid and enjoy.
