Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Sleep of Oldominion (MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2009-06-30 If you were a hip-hop emcee who can spit lightening fast rhymes, would you call yourself Sleep?

Zelly Rock
Zelly Rock - Chops and Props
(CD) Zelly Rock Sound, 2006


Zelly Rock's third album features heavy Reggae-influenced, off the Block, West Coast Rap with conscious Hip-Hop vibes. I discovered him while doing research for my It's The New Hip Hop Thing compilation released last February on CD by Vibrations/Harmonia Mundi. His collaboration album with Sleep (from Oldominion), Combination Lock is just a MUST BUY for those who like their Reggae drenched into Hip Hop colors. And now I'd like to hear more. Chops and Props is the third solo album from Zelly Rock. He also released High Grade Exports in 2005 as Don Dignitaries (with RK-1). Anyone who's got any of those records would be so generous to take the time to contact us, so that I might get the chance to give them a listen... Thanks in advance!
