Published on October 21st, 2014

Glam.I.Rock, born August, 1991, in Oakland, CA began releasing music independently in 2008. GLAM — the first part of her moniker is an anagram for “Good Lyrics AndMusic” as she ups the versatility ante by by taking on double
duties: she not only writes her own lyrics, but produces her own songs. A Hip Hop artist & producer, Glam.I.Rock began making tracks on an Ensoniq ASR-10 at age 10; so it’s only natural that she createsher own soundtracks to her poetic verses.

Glam.I.Rock, was literally born into Bay Area hip-hop scene, as the daughter of NicNac — the only female member of the Mobb crew (Dru Down, the Luniz, Cydal) and Dangerous Dame, a legendary member of Too $hort’s Dangerous Crew. Glam currently resides in Oakland today, but was raised mostly in Los Angeles for grade school & high school. Both areas continue to color her music and influence her production.

Glam.I.Rock’s music is often discovered online and social networks, as in 2008 when publishing company, SESAC found her music on indie music site thesixtyone.com and signed Glam from some of her early music off the New Curriculum Mixtape (2009). Subsequently her music was featured on popular TV Show, Keeping up with the Kardashians around the same time. Her music from the 2012 Mixtape, FBGM has also been featured on Mobile App, Tap Tap’s Revenge by Disney. Her newest project release, The Feel, self-released on Savvie1ent/The Olive Street Agency in Feb. 2013, Glam.I.Rock goes hard with 11 slaps which honor the independent hip-hop tradition of the Bay Area, as well as the various music sounds that come from Los Angeles. The EP’s vibe reflects influences ranging from trap music to female vocalists TLC &Xscape, to Erykah Badu. Or as Glam explains, “real words on top of real tones, with a futuristic twist of trap and 90’s aura.” The result is a unique-sounding album which balances contemporary relevance with retro flavor. With its unique-sounding production, perfectly matched to Glam.I.Rock’s reality-based rhymes, The Feel is a release that challenges every stereotypical cliché about female rap artists, and highlights Glam’s highly original flavor.
