Rockie Fresh's Music Journey

In 2009, Rockie Fresh started recording his first mixtape, Rockie's Modern Life. He worked in a small studio in Chicago, Illinois. During this time, he met Andrew Koenig and Andrew Gertler. They became his managers.

The group released Rockie's Modern Life in December 2009. They followed it with another mixtape, The Otherside, in December 2010. This second mixtape was recorded at Studio 11.

The success of these projects brought Rockie Fresh a lot of attention. Hip-hop blogs and magazines praised his music. He performed at many places, including the Bamboozle Festival. There, he met Josh Madden, who introduced him to his brothers, Joel and Benji Madden of Good Charlotte. Rockie's music also caught the eye of Fall Out Boy's lead singer, Patrick Stump. Rockie has said that Stump was a big influence on him. They have even toured together.

After The Otherside was released, Rockie Fresh was named one of Metromix's "25 Hottest Artists Under 25." His music was also featured on The CW's TV show Nikita. He also appeared on Good Charlotte's project, The Madden Brothers: Before The Fame. This was reported by Rolling Stone and Billboard magazines.

In 2012, Rockie Fresh released his mixtape Driving 88. This led to him signing with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group on July 12, through Atlantic Records. After signing, he released his fifth mixtape. This was his first project with Maybach Music Group, called 'Electric Highway'. It featured other artists like Lunice, Rick Ross, Nipsey Hussle, and Curren$y. The music was produced by The Gift, Boi-1da, and The Maven Boys. He also appeared on Rick Ross' mixtape "The Black Bar Mitzvah". He worked on other songs and remixes with Maybach Music Group.
