Rocko

Rocko, born Rodney Hill, is an American rapper, entrepreneur and record executive from Atlanta, Georgia, known both for his own recordings and for his role as an early mentor to the rapper Future. He debuted with the album «Self Made» in 2008, supported by singles such as «Dis Morning», «Umma Do Me» and «Goin' Steady», establishing himself within Atlanta's trap and hip-hop scene.

His biggest commercial moment came with «U.O.E.N.O.», featuring Future and Rick Ross, which reached the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100 and became a defining Southern hip-hop single of its era, spawning multiple remixes and versions. Beyond that hit, his catalog includes tracks like «Squares Out Your Circle», «Luv» and «Good», reflecting the melodic, street-oriented trap sound associated with Atlanta rap.

Beyond his own music, Rocko is recognized as a key figure behind the scenes of the Atlanta rap industry, having played a formative role in launching Future's career before Future became one of the genre's most influential artists. That combination of performer and industry connector has made Rocko a respected, if sometimes underappreciated, figure in modern Southern hip-hop.
