Zilla Rocca feverishly paints bars like he’s Luther slicing the evidence room looking for diamonds to plant on the scene. The first verse, before the awesomely haunting sample, is the birthplace of noir steeze, describing everything from a lucky lighter to Sinatra Sunday. Let me back track a bit. Zilla Rocca is the founder of Noir Hop. He’s a self made beast out of Philadelphia who released the Nights & Weekends EP this summer, thanks to the help of people like you. That’s right, his fans helped this album come to life. This combined with his unbelievable social presence, allowed him to create a 10 track album and help out his friends. Over the past year, I’ve been emersed in hip hop music and have been fiendish for the Mello Music Group label. One of my favorite new artists this year is Rocca’s Philly mate, Has-Lo, who laced a few tracks on the Nights & Weekends EP, including my favorite, “Michael Caine Glasses.” I’ve been lucky enough to eavesdrop on the Philly hip hop loop and hear the fantastic beats of Small Pro, who recently won a DJBooth contest hosted by Fortilive, and also hear the gripping bars from fellow shameless Bills fan, My Man Shafe. I won’t spoil all the features on the album for any hip hop fan is sure to spend countless hours researching these architects before the next big project drops (I can’t fucking wait). So go ahead and get your late self acquainted with the god, Zilla Rocca. Buy the album: http://5oclockshadowboxers.bandcamp.com/album/nights-weekends-ep Learn from those links.
