Like a cocked shotgun, Hyro Da Hero is about to go off.
On August 8th, the Houston-bred L.A.-based MC delivered his second
musical manifesto on iLike.com. This new full-length, aptly titled Rock
& Roll Gangsta, was unleashed upon the masses as a download via the
groundbreaking music social network. Rock & Roll Gangsta isn't simply
rap music. It's a razor sharp revolution. Hyro rings in hip hop
independence by spitting rhymes over rock and heavy metal samples and
ripping through hook after hook. His intelligent and vivid lyrics
breathe new life into rock staples. On stage, Hyro redefines fresh. Not
only did he tour with West Coast hip hop legends Tha Alkaholiks all
spring, but he's also rocked crowds alongside Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed,
In this Moment and Black Tide. He's the one and only the rock n' roll
gangsta, and he's about to flip the game upside down.
Rock & Roll Gangsta is an enigmatic statement that bridges genre lines.
German techno death march makes "Bang Bang Bang" an anthemic hip hop
hybrid. Hyro's fluid rhymes forge to the industrial clank with explosive
results. On "Rage Hero," a timeless rap metal melody gets an explosive
21st century makeover. "Children" sees Hyro transform a jagged riff into
an elegy for Ryan Patrick Halligan. Hyro learned about Ryan after
watching a special on the E! Networks True Hollywood Story about online
bullying. Halligan's tragic suicide inspired Hyro to write a song for
his family, and it's nothing short of uplifting.
Looking to branch out further, Hyro even enlisted help from another
sonic revolutionary, Deftones and Team Sleep frontman Chino Moreno. The
legendary voice behind Deftones, Moreno, chose the music that Hyro spits
over on "Candy Black," inspiring him. He had this to say about the young
MC, "Hyro da Hero is the kind of rapper that I like. He doesn't just
follow the same tired mainstream trends. He's got an underground edge,
but he's still catchy. I think he has a lot of potential." Hyro draws
equal inspiration from hip hop and rock on this latest romp through the
streets.
Hyro's cinematic style dissects the scene through fierce and fiery raps
about everything from whack MC's ruining the game to "black heavy
metal." There's only one Hyro da Hero. So either roll with him or run to
the hills....
