Usually, dubcnn is a place where we break new artists and introduce them to the world, but sometimes it goes the other way around and we gotta jump on something that’s already popping. Roscoe Umali has been on dubcnn before, but it’s about time we properly introduce the Philipino native from Los Angeles to our viewers.
I know a lot of people are like hold up, Roscoe? That’s Kurupt’s little brother! No, this is Roscoe Umali, different person. He adresses this issue on his song “Illmind”, featuring J. Black, where he spits:
“Just to get the record straight/I am not related to Kurupt in any way/except that he spit and I spit/we both spit the hotness/and he got a younger brother that be lookin nothin like me/but we share the same name[…]“.
Roscoe Umali is managed by Sway & King Tech, and has recorded with Talib Kweli, E-40, Raekwon, DJ Muggs, DJ Khalil to name a few. Right now, the man has got the number 1 independent song in the country with his latest single “Live It Up“, which features Bobby Valentino on the hook, and a verse from the Ambassador of the Bay E-40. The track was produced by Aftermath’s Focus, and it’s a certified banger!
Make sure to check out “Live It Up” right now and get with the hype:
