Sophisticated Ignorance
If a genetic engineer had the ability to mix in the DNA samples of Bishop from Juice, Don Juan De Marco, Rick James and add a pinch of Kurt Cobain; that character might closely resemble SoCal’s rapper Brose Royce. Brose has been making a name for himself for some time now outside of his own music. He has rapidly become one of the better known up and coming video director and editors for several in LA’s music scene. Of course equipped with this ability Brose has taken a greater pride in directing and editing his. The video which has gotten Brose the most notice has been the controversial clip “Inauguration”. You could be certain that Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney wishes he could use this video as an attack ad against President Obama. Brose has taken his freedom of expression to heart with many images of our current president taking part in activities that even Bill Clinton would kiss the ring to. The video is rapidly closing in on one million views (if it hasn’t already) and has gotten the attention of several major labels with Interscope Records leading the charge.
With the wheels firmly placed in motion Brose will be coming out with an official project scheduled for end of the year release.
The track “Phantom” is just a clear case example of Brose’s ability and desire to take risk creatively with his craft. This track comes from his upcoming EP titled “ACID”, which will be Brose Royce’s official introduction as an artist.
With “Acid” you will get a glimpse of an average weekend in the life of a Southern California turn’d up playboy; no embellishments required. While listening to Brose Royce’s work you will notice the oxymoron in his sound that comes off grossly raw yet unbelievably polished in the same breath. You will hear some not-so tall tales and adventures of him and his bevy of female friends in a healthy portion of his tracks. You’ll also get plenty of what many are into with the drug induced tales that define the Southern California sub culture. Brose Royce the “Renaissance Man” is giving us a cinematic experience with this project. Bishop from “Juice” would be proud.
“Bill of Rights” is his next video dropping Election Day.
