And if you wind up loving music as much as I did and still do, then three or four is usually the age when you start to have your earliest memories of what initially impacted your childhood.
That was the age at which most kids begin to understand what music is. I was three years old when Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” first hit in late 1969. I mean, this was the quintessential pop and soul music icon who for the first quarter-century of his career could do no wrong in our eyes and whose star couldn’t shine any brighter, particularly for a black kid like me who had never witnessed one of our own attain the kind of astronomical success Jackson would later achieve. How could anyone watch that program without being affected by the riveting, powerful and – admittedly – compelling stories told by the two men who were just boys when they say Jackson sexually molested them for years beginning in the late 1980s? (March 9, 2019) How does someone who has followed Michael Jackson’s entire career – ever since he and his four older brothers made their national debut half a century ago as the Jackson 5 – process the latest revelations about him as described in the two-part documentary “Leaving Neverland,” which premiered this past Sunday and Monday nights on HBO?

So with such a diverse sound, it would undoubtedly be interesting to know what the rapper’s favourite albums are and see how they have impacted his style. Rocky’s music would evolve over the years, and as he has grown, we have seen him explore and diversify his sound, collaborating with Tyler The Creator, Skepta, and FKA Twigs. However, especially with regard to the lyrical content of his songs, you can tell he was also exposed to dirty south music. With his real name being Rakim, named after the legendary, culture-shifting godfather MC, Rocky was obviously exposed to classic New York hip hop.
The mixtape was a fusion of classic East Coast hip hop and “cloud rap”, an ambient and more celestial hip hop style that emerged in the early 2010s. The beginnings of Rocky’s career around 2011 saw him work extensively with Harlem producer Araab Muzik and in 2011, he released his debut mixtape Live.
However, it seemed as if Rocky, in particular, was always preparing for a solo career as he would simultaneously release his own solo material while other crew members did not. Rocky featured on a number of collaborative projects the crew released in their early days. A$AP Mobb was extremely popular nationwide, but especially in New York, as the city hadn’t produced any quality new artists since the mid-noughties.
