Rick Ross and Maybach Music Group just got some fly shit from Chicago, and you know they're gonna bring it down to the family.
The newest signee to the Bawse's label is Chi-Town's fast-spitting swagmaster Rockie Fresh. He comes to MMG already two mixtapes deep and hailed by Complex Magazine as a force to be reckoned with.
Now he's setting out on his first nationwide solo tour, and he'll be bringing that Fresh shit to Grand Central on Tuesday, September 11.

But just because Rockie is new to the fam, it doesn't mean that he's new to the game.
Homeboy dropped his first mixtape, Rockie's Modern Life, in 2009. Then he followed up in 2010 with The Otherside. And now he's riding on his latest, Driving 88 while getting set to release another, Electic Highway, just in time for his throwdown in the 305.
Rockie's style isn't exactly the hard-chop bangin' flow of label mates like Meek Mill or Ace Hood. It's prose-oriented stuff, tinged with the kind of soul that you'd expect from a Chi-Town rep.
Basically, he isn't afraid to let loose a big string "dragon flow." But he's still about that money. 'Cause this is MMG, after all.
Rockie Fresh. Tuesday, September 11. Grand Central, 697 N. Miami Ave., Miami. The show starts at 9 p.m. Call 305-377-2277 or visit grandcentralmiami.com.
