“Rock Rock” is a modern-day bboy smash by our North Carolina brethren Mr. Invisible:
Mr. Invisible (@mrinvisible), made up of the homies Justin Aswell and Ill-Use, has been putting out some dope sounds since 2005, and they’ve appeared alongside the likes of Dead Prez and Camp Lo (which means to us that they’re A-okay).
We first spotted Mr. Invisible on Bandcamp back when Bboysounds was on the site, and “Rock Rock” stood out on a major level, but there are many more eclectic and innovative sounds to sample in the Mr. Invisible library.
Dig this bio from Mr. Invisible’s Facebook page:
Mr. Invisible is a team of two MC/producers based in Charlotte, NC. Known for their energetic live shows infused with demonstrations of high technical proficiency, Mr. Invisible has been rocking crowds with their brand of progressive hip-hop music since 2005. Up-tempo beats, fast raps, and B-boy inspired breaks are the backbone of the group’s sound.
Mr. Invisible draws heavy inspiration from old school rap as a foundation, then stands on it blasting futuristic weapons in the form of live beat production and sample manipulation.
These components, mixed with wide-ranged rhymes referencing quantum mechanics, underdog determination and a love for all the elements of hip-hop, create the music known as Mr. Invisible.
For a visual illustration of what these North Carolina bboy brethren are doing, peep this video of Justin Aswell mashing up the Maschine (and peep the rest of Mr. Invisible’s YouTube videos!):
