Everyday Struggle by Roc C and Alchemist

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

In the world of music, a brief introduction is sometimes all it takes. For Roc C, the day he stopped by to see his friend Oh No as he worked on his group album “Gangreen” with Alchemist, turned into more than just a brief visit. After Oh No introduced them to one another, their casual acquaintanceship quickly evolved. Roc’s studio drop by turned into him making an appearance on their album. After that, on their mix CD. And to top it all off, he ended up on Alchemist’s solo album with none other than Oh No. As they forged their musical friendship, Alchemist was kind enough to provide Roc with a few beats for his own solo project.

And though they’ve only known each other for little over a year now, Roc considers Al a good friend and is thankful. “That’s the homie. He really holds cats down.”

On Everyday Struggle, the single features Roc C with Fashawn and Oh No and was produced by Alchemist.

Enjoy, from your friends at VTech
