Over the past couple of weeks I feel like I’ve really gotten to know Rocky – the artist. Not to be confused with Rocky – the celebrity.
Bless Nadeska Alexis. She delivered a really candid, dope product which was no small feat.
She recently caught up with him at the SXSW Festival where he talked new music, Yams, his recent break up (a rare topic of discussion) and his almost 2 year sabbatical. Seems like it was far more on purpose than most people believe.
In all, this was probably one of the best interviews I’ve seen him in. He was a little challenging at times, but the openness more than made up for it
“I got to a point where I felt like I was so misunderstood, that motherf–kers weren’t connecting with me any more,” he said, adding that he doesn’t feel pressure to make headlines, just for the sake of exposure.
“I’m not a celebrity. I don’t gotta be in the public eye every minute. I’m an artist. When you’re meant to hear about me, you’re meant to hear about me. Only when I’m doing art.”
