NYC Hip Hop duo Rocky Business’ CD release party at Mercury on 02.23

Hip Hop is in an interesting period of change right now. Many rappers are realizing that they can’t just rhyme over hardcore beats and expect to be overnight superstars. Enter groups like Rocky Business, rapper-producer duos who combine elements of street rap with unorthodox pop/electro production. Of the wide spectrum of groups attempting to bridge the gap, Rocky Business stands out as a tasteful balance of skillful rhyming, upbeat rhythms, and healthy swagger. They’ll be releasing their new mixtape at the Mercury Lounge tomorrow, February 23. Dust off your dancing shoes and Gameboy belt buckle and prepare yourself for the electric revival! – BrokeMC
