Bronx, N.Y. native Eddie Brock has much more in his
plans than just being recognized a good emcee. He
has been lyrically raised and inspired by hip-hop's
greats such as Kool G. Rap, KRS-One, Slick Rick and
Big Daddy Kane. Combining his knowledge of urban
life, a bachelor's in English, and three years
experience in educating some of the Bronx's most
troubled teenagers, he has become an artist to be
carefully watched. The now 27 year old hip-hop
artist has been writing rhymes since elementary
school and has since, refined his style and sound
into what many consider great music.
"Brock," as commonly referred to, gained his initial
exposure on NYU's college radio station 89.1FM. He
and his then DJ "D-Reel" made a promotional song for
the station. The song was played weekly as the show
aired. He was invited for a live interview and soon
became a listener favorite. In 1996, Brock left
N.Y.C. He attended Syracuse University to pursue a
degree in English, yet continued to write and
created a demo. One song from his demo was featured
alongside artists such as Mos Def and Pharoahe Monch
on a compilation album released in 1999 by a
Germany-based label named Groove Attack.
During his time at Syracuse, Brock was president of
an organization who booked Hip-Hop acts; Cocoa
Brovas and Pharoahe Monche to name a couple. He
hosted the events and opened up for these acts
himself, all the while, learning and sharpening his
craft. He continued amidst the underground circuit
appearing on worldwide mixtapes and small
performances at shows in the N.Y.C. In 2000, he
formed a group named "Double Edge" with Long
Island-bred tour DJ Crossphada (Common, De La Soul,
Mobb Deep, Beatnuts) and released a record
distributed by Japan-based label "Up Above" in 2001.
Produced by DJ Spinna, the record did very well
independently and was noted in the September issue
of the Source magazine that Fall as a reputable
independent record. The legendary DJ Premiere also
gave the record a few spins on his Hot 97 slot in
the summer of 2001.
Though heavily pursuing his solo career, Brock found
an uncanny chemistry with one Swigga(formerly
L-Swift of Natural Elements) and formed the group
Northeast Wildcats. The Northeast Wildcats mixtape
entitled, "Animal Features" is hosted mixtape mogul
J Armz. As Brock's first project since his rebirth,
"Animal Features" was featured in the September
issue of the Source in 2004 as one of the best
mixtapes on the streets. Also released in 2004, was
his first solo single, "Holla at the Kid," produced
by French beatmakers Get Large(Mobb Deep, Dipset,
Tragedy). The single was noted as one of the top
records of 2004 at Columbia University radio station
89.9FM and is available via internet.
