http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5819&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fz-ro%2Fplaylists.rssRaised in the slums of Southern Houston, Z-Ro joined a gang following the death of his mother and spent his early years hustling. In the mid-'90s, the fledgling emcee was noticed by DJ Screw's already notorious Screwed Up Click. Z-Ro'€™s deep, laconic voice was a perfect foil for the DJ's approach: slowing down beats to a snail's pace to simulate the buzz from a codeine high. Word quickly spread of Z-Ro'€™s prowess, and in 1998 the emcee released his debut, <I>Look What You Did to Me</I>. In the tradition of Houston hip-hop pioneers Scarface and UGK, the album was dark and violent. The emcee linked up with J. Prince's infamous H-Town indie label Rap-A-Lot and released seven albums over the next five years, both solo and as a member of the group Guerilla Mob. All of them were well regarded, both by critics and Southern hip-hop audiences, but were overlooked by the general public. When Houston hip-hop blew up in 2005, Z-Ro failed to capitalize. Instead, he was arrested various times for various offences, and spent much of 2004-'06 in prison. Somehow, he still found time to release 2006's excellent <I>I'm Still Livin'</I>. Too real for the radio, Z-Ro continues to command respect from peers and critics. - Sam ChennaultLyricalen720Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:37:54 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5819&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fz-ro%2Fplaylists.rss Raised in the slums of Southern Houston, Z-Ro joined a gang following the death of his mother and spent his early years hustling.
