Hyro Da Hero - Rock and Roll Gangsta

Like a cocked shotgun, Hyro Da Hero is about to go off. This new full-length, aptly titled Rock & Roll Gangsta, was unleashed upon the masses as a download. 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 and 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...
