Rome D'Carlo

"With Rome D’Carlo blending the elements of “flow flexing” and maturity while delivering his 1st original project, you may ask what’s missing? I’d say not much, but there is a little feeling that Mr. D’Carlo is saving more for later, and is only getting his feet wet. No worries, this young up-and-comer is poised to make waves in the near future with his level-headedness and production. Bridging the gap is what the masses are asking for, while giving us a reason to stay with Hip-Hop is what the game needs. The city of Greensboro, the state of North Carolina, and the world says hello back Rome D’Carlo.

"...Rome D’Carlo brings a chaotic, yet controlled presence to “Boom!” by matching the frenetic pace of the drum claps, as well as the various tempo changes in the beat. It is an impressive performance. Check it out, now!" - Poisonous Planet

"...It does me well to know that there are artists that still have a sense of dignity and are able to convey it in a way that’s not corny. My personal favorite song from Rome is off of his first solo project titled Eclectic Soul. The track is titled Broken Hourglass. Over an emotion filled piano sample, he tells the stories of hopeless individuals that have turned to drugs as a result of hardship in their lives. He expressed that inspiration for this piece was received from his tenure volunteering at a homeless shelter and his uncle’s personal battle with drugs. This song reveals the harsh reality of many people today." - Cuts From a Different Cloth

"If you’re a fan of open-mic nights in town, you may have seen Jerome “Rome D’Carlo” Pearson perform. Depending on the night of the week, Rome can be found at the Boston House of Jazz performing with a live band or at the Flat Iron, Blue Door or Sessions doing spoken word, poetry, or hip hop with a back-up guitarist. Even though he has only been performing solo for a year, crowds love him. Furthering a longstanding interest in hip hop, he bought all the classic albums he could find in high school. A former WUAG DJ and recent UNCG graduate, Rome said his primary influence is God, followed by Nas and Outkast. As a student, he did promotional work with Atlantic Records and interned at Rock 92. Now the Lawrenceville, Georgia native is studying sound engineering at GTCC, so he can engineer his own sessions and work at venues with other artists.?
