Roc The Prophet

Roc The Prophet, born Ryan Jordan grew up in the rough streets of Kansas City, Mo. The oldest boy of 3, he was raised in a primarily single parent home, as his father battled drug issues and was frequently in and out of prison. needing to cope with the pain of not having his father around, he was inspired by uncle to write his first rhyme “running from the popoâ€? at the tender age of 8; and his love for music began. Growing up under the pastoral teachings of his grandfather, and being taught under the denomination of the Church of God in Christ, he was introduced to the Love of God through Christ and the Gospel early in life. He understood the Love God had for him, he could feel it, but it wasn't enough to keep him grounded in Christ, so the older he got, the further he strayed. Though he was granted the Godly gifts of wisdom and understanding, the temptation around him was far more enticing. After only one semester at Missouri Western State College he found himself addicted to ecstasy, alcohol and marijuana leading to his demise & dropping out. Not long after he returned home and began to sell drugs himself. He began to battle depression, suicidal feelings and thoughts. As foggy as things had become, he knew this wasn't the life God intended for him. As he tried to get his life on a more stable path, he began to hear the voice of God. God began to show him visions of things he couldn't understand; Things of the world that prompted him to pray for the world. As he didn't quite grasp a full understanding he yielded to God's voice and direction. Once God stretched his understanding it was then that he began to understand the visions. God showed him worldly chaos to pray about. God would frequently show him things that people (even strangers) were struggling with, and being obedient he would pray for them. As life threw him more obstacles and hurdles, God never left his side, and neither did the music. He realized Music was what God gave him to get him through. As he matured in Christ so did his music and the content of his message. In 2008 he relocated to Orlando, FL to start a new chapter. His first call of business was school, which he succeeded and received his certification of Audio Engineering in 2011. His music is real. Just as his music helped him through countless trials and tribulations, his music will touch other people and help them through problems they face. His faith is strong and he believes his music will soon touch this nation, the world and shake up positive pop culture. After 27 years of tests, trials, set-backs  and come-ups, two things reign true; With God all things are possible and your past doesn't define your destiny!
