Something’s in life make too much sense not to happen. Like Rome Streetz and Griselda/GXFR forming like Voltron.
Ever since Rome’s signing was announced late last year, fans couldn’t wait to hear him spit his grimy and intricate vignettes for the industry’s pre-eminent tastemaker label.
Now, one of NYC’s brightest emcees and writers has officially released his debut Griselda album and masterpiece Kiss The Ring,
“Kiss The Ring is Rome Streetz on steroids. This album is my deepest thoughts, feelings and experiences. This is the culmination of all of my hard work and the times people said I couldn’t get lit making this type of music” Rome Streetz explains. “Fast forward, I blew past them all and now they gotta Kiss The Ring.”
With his ear always to the streets, Westside Gunn recognized and admired Rome Streetz’s talents and knew he would make the perfect addition to Griselda. “When I think of NYC and bars, no one’s name comes up first before Rome Streetz. He’s an emcees emcee and Griselda is a lot stronger with Rome” Westside Gunn confidently asserts. “We made a classic tape and this is just the beginning. Rome Streetz is the future; Kiss The Ring.”
Executive produced and exquisitely curated by Westside Gunn, Kiss The Ring, much to fan excitement, is a uniformly GXFR affair and features appearances and production from Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, Boldy James, Stove God Cooks, Armani Caesar, The Alchemist, Daringer, DJ Green Lantern, Conductor Williams, Camouflage Monk, Denny Laflare, Sadugold & Sovren.
Rome Streetz’ Kiss The Ring is now available via Griselda/GXFR Records.
