Airyka’s Mic Booth
5th April 2009
Some say hip hop is dead, but in North Carolina it is very much alive. Although Hip Hop in NC is somewhat opposed by many conservatives because of the popular belief that hip hop is centered around drugs and violence, Emcees in NC strive to use hip hop in a positive way, proving that hip hop’s social impact is not all negative. NC is filled with dope emcees that can and will restore your faith in hip hop.
The south is overrun with talent, but hailing out of N.C comes the next lyrical prodigy. Rowdee Methodz doesn’t follow your everyday backpacker’s mantra. He delivers ethereal swaggers over gutter beats. With mix tapes and albums coming, there is no doubt as to who will be the next underground emcee to rise above sea level. He is an artist that can go from the hardest of block bangers to the illest life stories.
Born in Winston- Salem, NC and raised between Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, Rowdee was influenced by early Hip Hop like KRS ONE, Big Daddy Kane, and Kool G Rap. He finally honed his own style which can only be described as unorthodox. Rowdee did a seven year stint in prison in 1999. After being release he began performing venues such as Somewhere Else Tavern in Greensboro, NC, Peppers in High Point, NC, Ziggys and the Millennium Center in Winston Salem, NC, he has also opened up for the Ruff Rider’s DMX. With his new album Haterz Buffet due to release in June of this year, look for Rowdee to make waves in the industry, just don’t catch a cold in his draft as he shoots by on his way to the top.
You can hear him currently on the web radio stations “Oz Radio”, "Desert One" and “WCUT Radio” on KryKey Personal Web Radio.
Stay tuned as we get to know more dope emcees from North Carolina.
