After lacking inspiration in the literary world, she decided to finally pursue Hip-Hop as a participant, not only as an observer, and began to fill the void with thought-provoking music that you can dance to. (Think Lauryn Hill meets Public Enemy with West Coast beats) Her moniker and album theme is derived from a book entitled “The Gangster of Love” by Jessica Hagedorn, as Rocky examines love, war, and a young woman’s journey along the way.BOOKING & PRESS: info@rockyrivera.comRENEGADES BIO (written by Aki Starr & Jazzy Jay)The Renegade Rockers are a professional breakdancing group based in the city of San Francisco,California. The group was founded at City College of San Francisco in 1983, when members of the Stunt City Rockers and Eternal Breaking Crew decided to unite and join forces to create the Renegade Rockers.Throughout the decade of the 1980’s, the Renegade Rockers earned their respect from battling and competing against the best breakdancing groups in and around the Bay Area. Whether it was by entering contests or (literally) running into rival crews on the streets, the Renegade Rockers were always ready to “show and prove” no matter what. Members of the Stunt City Rockers included: Oc Silva (co-founder Renegade Rockers), Romeo Soler, Mike Palada, Donnie Diego, Greg Dionicio, Brian, Don & Eric Datanagan, Chuck Mabanag, Ray Castillo, Fel Cruz, Cesar Agustin, and Sean Jantoc. The Stunt City Rockers lived up to their name by the use of acrobatic moves which would later help them create “circus” styled routines that distinguished them from others. The Eternal Breaking Crew were a young energetic start-up squad which included: Alfred “Gizmo” David (co-founder Renegade Rockers and Knuckle Neck Tribe (KNT), Kevin “Shleprock” San Felipe, Victor “Styles” Rosales, Leo Mahiney, James Manzano, Noel Limos, Rory Sarmiento, Jerry Aragon, Darren, Ronnie Yemat, Pere Perez, Rofer Rogelio, and Joel Argonza. Once organized, the Renegade Rockers made an immediate impact on the local breakdancing scene by finishing in 1st place in their first b-boy championship they entered (which took place in Newark,Califaornia). Throughout the remainder of the decade, the Renegade Rockers went on to win several more championships all over the state of California with additional members Henry Maltez, Danny ‘SpinBad’ Alvarez, Ace, Trina and Tricia Mounce, Joel Mounce, a young Jazzy Jim, and others. As a result of their success, the Renegade Rockers had built a breakdancing dynasty by the bay.Rockit Room
