Born in the backwoods of Monroe County Georgia, Monroe Blakkk has presented himself to the music industry as the savior of Hip Hop. With a new, positive spirit and a determined attitude, Monroe is setting new standards in Rap Music.

No longer are the rules set in stone that a southern rapper can only do southern style rap or Crunk Music. Monroe possesses multiple styles, straight-forward technique, and a storytelling smooth flow that is one of the best in the game.

Little is known about Monroe’s musical talents in the early stages of his development. Initially, Monroe would socialize with other artist in the Macon area to hone his craft. It wasn’t until Monroe teamed up with Fletcher Batts that his career began to look more promising. Fletcher encouraged Monroe to be himself. Despite the entire negative that is surrounding him in his life, use that negative energy as fuel for the music that you create. When Rap Music was first introduced, it was all about parties, dance battles, mic battles and individual expression. It wasn’t until the music hit mainstream that young people realized that they have an outlet now.

Fletcher’s challenge to Monroe appeared to have worked. With his guidance, Monroe has developed a melodic flow that reflected not only his perspective, but also the relative perspective of his peers.

Monroe’s first public project is the concept mix CD “Welcome to the Boondocks”. Monroe states that “the CD is my way of paying respect to the innovative cartoonist Aaron McGruder and his style of political satire. Seeing the cartoon really inspired me. My style is mostly satire, a little humor, and some in-your-face dialogue, like the cartoon. So if you throw in some tight beats, a few snippets, interludes and commercials from the cartoon and you have Welcome to the Boondocks Mix CD: Introducing Monroe Blakkk.”

There isn’t a lot of substance in Hip Hop Music today, but especially in Rap Music. The industry has been missing a mainstream rap artist that has both commercial appeal and a social conscience. The list of artist that is out today is very short. With the debut of the mix CD Welcome to the Boondocks: Introducing Monroe Blakkk and the follow-up Return to the Boondocks: The Resurrection of Nigga (early 2008), Monroe will stake his claim as an MC who not only can move the crowd, but can offer thought provoking, comical, jaw-dropping, in-your-face and yet serious entertainment. There is not another MC like Monroe Blakkk
