His Father, Rocko
Born Rodney Jerkins in Long Beach, California, Rocko showed early musical talent. By 10 he was producing beats – a natural at making infectious melodies. Such an early aptitude was no fluke. Rocko grew up in a musical family. His dad is record producer Rodney Jerkins Sr. who has worked with many popular artists. Rocko’s younger brother Dallas Austin is also a producer – music seems to be their family language.
The formal schooling Rocko received was secondary to his musical endeavors. Realizing his potential, his family nurtured his talent, and studios became his classrooms. He honed his production skills and has produced beats for Aaliyah and Timbaland. His first contacts with industry insiders sharpened his skills and gave him connections.
By 1999 Rocko was not just producing for others. He came into his own spotlight. He signed a deal with Jive Records and released “Rocko.” That record, with its breakout single “All I See is Stars”, established him as a rising rap star. The audience for his smooth, melodic flow and catchy hooks was predominantly Southern hip-hop scene.
Rocko continued to be successful with his sophomore album Superstar in 2001. This album contained the RnB hit Can’t Let Go, written by R. Kelly. The infectious melody and Rocko’s signature style made the album platinum.
Rocko continued to release music, work with others and start his own record label, Hilltop Records, through the 2000s. He discovered and nurtured new talent like The Ying Yang Twins whose Wait (The Whisper Song) became a cultural phenomenon. Rocko had an impact beyond music. his trademark braids were a style trend in the South.
But behind the glitz and glam, Rocko is a great parent. He has 3 sons – Rodney Ramone Hill III, Romelo Montez Hill, and Ramone Malik Hill. His eldest son, Rodney III, has gone into music under the stage name Rodneyy.
