It's hard to stand out in a city full of stars. But instead of being intimidated by all the hype surrounding the Windy Cities overnight celebrities, Romey is confident he's got what it takes to shine with the best of them. Like his platinum Chi-town counterparts Kanye West, Twista and Common, 23 year-old rapper Romey is destined to join his cities rap elite.
With his whole city behind him, the young MC is ready to make the leap from a regional success to a nationwide contender. He's aligned himself with some of the countries most influential mixtape and radio DJs, who have been spreading his words like the gospel. There couldn't be a better time for the self titled Michael Jordan of the rap game to redirect rap back to a time when lyrics outweighed hooks and rappers focused on the power of their words rather than their material value.
It wasn't until a friend at school introduced him to Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt that Romey found a way out of his trife life.
Romey saw how powerful Jay was with his flow and how he effected the way that he looked at hustling and all the things he was going through, he remembered before making the jump from the street to the booth. That's what ultimately made him want get into rap.
Romey has aligned himself with Chicago's top mixtape suppliers, DJ Pharris and DJ V Dub who have been continuously leaking his records directly to the street. Outside of the Midwest, rap fiends have recently gotten a huge dose of Romey thanks to his DJ Sickamore hosted CD/DVD, The Chicago Takeover. Backed by the same mixtape DJ turned A&R that helped polish and present underground MCs Saigon and Tru-Life to the masses, Sickamore's stamp is a huge feat for rapper outside of New York City. When I met Sickamore, he sat and listened to like 10 of my joints straight, recalls Romey. He was just like, Yo, you're crazy, you sound incredible! I wanna work with you.
With some of the industries top taste makers cosigning, Romey is ready to spread his word like the gospel. And unlike most rap rookies that have their sites set of merely catching the next short-lived buzz single, Romey is focused on the qualities only the greatest MCs posses. His knack for recreating his own hard knock life on record makes him a rarity in an era littered with hip-pop acts whose catchy hooks are their biggest claim to fame. It wont be long before Romey solidifies his place in Chicago's already illustrious lineup, proving his voice is exactly what the game has been missing.
