DROCasso Biography
"Music is the beating heart of life." the Boston bred artist explains, "it's a way to touch others and show the world, we are truly more alike than unalike." DROCasso is an incredible song writer who has the ability to tap into his heart and soul, then deliver it within an amazing song. His versatility, contagious hooks and distinguished voice are some of his greatest attributes.
DROCasso began the imprint of the BYTC (Back Yard The Coalition) brand in the Fall of 2013 with the Free Hip Hop movement. Wanting to make his mark as a legitimate songwriter, he unleashed two extremely hard hitting singles called "U Already" & "Roc Wit It". As recognition grew, he stretched the bounds of his creativity with a record visually in honor of Black History month called "Black Inventors" produced by EZ Streets Productions and directed by WMS Sultan. Immediately after, he dropped another visual single called "My Own". The impact was incredible and inspired him to continue to push the limits acting in the popular Boston web series "Around My Way" directed by Sherika Ellison and following up with the street anthem plus theme record to the series season 2 called "AMW". Now DROCasso is back with a new single called "Hard Work Pays Off" releasing in the spring of 2019 which has raised eye brows locally due to it's catch hook, relatable subject matter regarding working hard to reap the benefits plus addictive style throughout the verses. This single will definitely create the buzz needed to catapult is career and show the world why he is such a great artist & songwriter.
"Music is my therapy; it's that world we dive deep down in the depths of the wild to find serenity," DROCasso voices. Now ready to continue his journey to greatness, he is preparaing an up-coming mixtape and organizing a collaborative project with fellow BYTC team members. DROCasso is the real deal and a savage with his word play. He revives that Hip Hop feel now missing and continuously delivers the energy and fervency needed to capture his audiences.

Peace Boston presents:
"Hip Hop 911; Black Spots On My Soul " is an interactive stage play written by Queen Viv, directed by Naheem Garcia and executive produced by Cindy Diggs. The message comes to life through various art forms which include actors, dancers, singers and film clips.
The script takes the audience on an intense journey highlighting social issues affecting young people and the community as a whole. The story is centered around a Scrooge-like character (Ebony) portrayed by Cindy Diggs, (Founder of Peace Boston) who is humored by the Ghosts of Hip Hop Past, Present and Future while confronting Ebony about her current attitude toward life.
This play encourages its audience to take a deeper look into the need for stronger advocates for arts programs in schools, increased funding for private programs that are struggling to keep their doors open to the community and non - profit organizations with the capacity to provide quality programming that receive little to no funding for the arts.
