SUROCK Beats - the foundation of our culture. Vinyl, breaks, drums, pads, MPCs, SPs. In this era of the laptop digital, Surock brings a timeless hip hop style back to production.

A dedicated beat craftsman, Surock works solid drums with samples and live instruments to perfection. His beats knock no matter what he's using to produce - but he's known to kill it on the MPC 2500 and the SP 1200 (check the videos!)

Born and raised overseas, Surock first experienced hip hop from a different perspective. His arrival in DC in 2000 provided an environment to strengthen his passion and talent for hip hop. A champion of the legendary DC Beat Grinder producer battles, Surock is well known and respected on the local hip hop scene. There's a reason why they call him DC's Official Beatsmith.

Surock is setting the bar high for 2009 - it's not about battles or local awards, but taking the operation global. His beats keep getting stronger as his raw and versatile style continues to evolve. Combine that with his never ceasing ambition, and Surock will continue to reach more heads. You'll be hearing some of the illest MCs on his beats in the future - stay tuned.
