Black Rob...the humble beginningss

Think Black Rob is blowing up right now? You're right. Think he's an overnight sensation? You're wrong. Just like Kid Rock on the rap/rock side-—who tried to break into the biz "for ten f-cking years, man"--Black Rob's been rhyming since the '80s. In this interview with Kronick, Rob (aka Robbie O) talks about hooking up with Puff Daddy and how that changed his life. Why did it take so long to get recognized? "I'm a slow burner," Rob says. "But in the end I always blow up." No doubt. He also talks about his possible involvement in the highly secretive "Mad Rapper & Mad Producer" bit.
