What you know about “GhettO RocK”?
DownsiiD from Killeen, Texas are the originators of this nouveaux genre. A high energy hybrid of Rock, Hip Hop, and Soul is produced by five very unique individuals. The combination of body shaking drumbeats, brain rattling bass lines, razor sharp scratches, and skin piercing guitar riffs overlaid with a powerful, soulful voice with a touch of battle rhyme lyrics is the perfect formula for DownsiiD.
DownsiiDs’ 2001 self released album, “This the World” contained the trademark single “simple man” and 2002′s “Karma: The Rebirth” produced “I”. They can be heard both nationwide and locally on Clear Channel Radio stations. “I” made it’s nationwide mark by topping local charts across the nation and being featured in ‘R&R” magazine. The follow up CD, “The Evolution of GhettO RocK”, features the songs “Ballin’ “, “Blue” and “Grab The Cash” and is set for an early 2006 release.
Currently DownsiiD is tearing up venues all over Texas and surrounding states. Headlining such historical venues as The Backroom in Austin and Trees in Dallas, and giving such unchained, riot inciting performances, DownsiiD has earned the respect of the Lone Star State. No one leaves a show without becoming a Downsiider, a true DownsiiD fan.
