For some, music is life. For others, life is music. But, what happens when your life is in different places and your music always in your heart?
Meet soCro: A rap artist proud of his Croatian roots who “combines electronic elements of the European club scene with Southern hip hop.” A Dalmatian and good ol’ Southern boy based out of Chattanooga, Tennessee, he has opened for Big Boi of Outkast, plays piano, viola, guitar, and drums and plans to take over the world with his music. - THE OFFICIAL CNYLA BLOG

Saturday night, IMR headed out to Atlanta’s Buckhead area at Peachtree Tavern to help you, our beloved reader, make a little sense of this crazy, colorful, and often borderline-ridiculous musical world around us.
Opening the night was Chattanooga’s soCro. With bass-heavy beats and a flow all his own, our homie soCro with supporting DJ Renan left a residue of Chatt-town funk on the tavern’s stage which remained for the rest of the night. - Indie Music Reviewer

Bio
soCro takes electronic elements of the European club scene and blends them with Southern hip hop.
Over the past three years, soCro has gone from a nobody to packing out local clubs, opening for Big Boi, and releasing his debut LP. He's been working diligently on spreading his music and making his name known throughout the South.
Born to Croatian immigrants, his upbringing was split between Croatia and America. The time spent in two countries made for a unique influence on his musical taste and party habits, which can be experienced at his live shows.
