With the release of his first full project out in the world “Lucky Last Born” has become Rocko’s introduction to many new listeners. Speaking with us a bit about the tape as well as its upcoming deluxe version. Being the last born out of all his siblings the rapper explained how he feels like he’s been lucky during his life and making the right moves to get to where he is now.
“Well im the last born of all my brothers and s—t, it's like I feel like some people come to me and are like how do you do what you do, I feel like I don’t even understand how I do this s—t, I just find myself lucky, like how everything happened, and Im thinking like if I ain't do this I wouldn’t have this and that, I was just making the right moves and I consider myself lucky for that. Some people make the right moves in this situation and if you don’t do the right thing in the next one, this won't come, everything just played out right"
One thing fans are extremely excited for is the upcoming collab project between Rocko and fellow NYC rapper 26AR.
