He believes in himself as well as his audience. This has made him as sincere and transparent in his mission statements as I've ever seen. Having this album is having a real moment w/ him in his life.
Favorite track: The Best Part of Everyday (prod by Small Professor).

Why do I love This Album? hmmm probably because i've been playing it non stop in the boom box since it arrived in The Mail! #salute Zilla Roc & Wrecking Crew!
Favorite track: Microwaved Vendettas (prod by Small Professor).

about
You're well over 30. You live off coffee, water, and booze. You're married. You have a child on the way. You've been rapping half your life. You are too old for the young boys but too young for the legacy circuit. You make an album inspired by Danny Brown's "Old" because you're old, an album inspired by Vince Staple's "Summertime '06" because you survived youth in a savage city, an album inspired by Nas' "Street's Disciple" because the best writers aren't afraid to look backwards.
One day you will become a former rapper. So you make an album shaking out every trick up your sleeve from 13 years as a completely independent artist. Sparse boom bap from Small Professor, Messiah Musik, and Ray West collide headfirst with ethereal thump from Steel Tipped Dove, Starkey, and William J. Sullivan. Stories of underage drinking, rap friends turned enemies, and ghosts from Philly basketball courts emerge quickly. Guest verses from Curly Castro, Armand Hammer, Serengeti, and Sid Sutra solidify a left of center approach that's crude and direct.
Zilla Rocca is the author of "Future Former Rapper" and a veteran emcee/producer/writer who has toured, released dozens of projects, and written for several notable outlets. He has previously collaborated with Open Mike Eagle, Lushlife, Roc Marciano, Geechi Suede, L'Orange, doseone, Henry Canyons, B. Dolan, and Uncommon NASA. He was shared stages with Blueprint, Quelle Chris, Denmark Vessey, Dopplegangaz, Astronautilus, K. Flay, Grieves, Dem Atlas, Nocando, Zeroh, and Busdriver.
