Short for "raps on contact," the R.O.C. is the primary alias of <a href="spotify:artist:3qBbBSzMGVPEbuo3G1iy3y">Bryan Jones</a>, aka Sol and Sol 46, a rapper and producer whose 1990s group House of Krazees was among the horrorcore acts out of Detroit. Throughout his career, <a href="spotify:artist:3qBbBSzMGVPEbuo3G1iy3y">Jones</a>' approach has been less extreme than that of his average stylistic peer, typically aggressive to the point of being confrontational with considerably less-cartoonish imagery. During the '90s, <a href="spotify:artist:3qBbBSzMGVPEbuo3G1iy3y">Jones</a> also teamed up with Big Father Hi-Top for the <a href="spotify:artist:2eQPDhVoSa5aeWROa5wfxZ">Esham</a>-produced EP Rollin' with Strength (1992) and released a solo album, X-Posed (1996). In the 2000s, <a href="spotify:artist:3qBbBSzMGVPEbuo3G1iy3y">Jones</a> collaborated with fellow House of Krazees member <a href="spotify:artist:67R8l2OLqGwA9V4BKllYQY">Skrapz</a> as one-half of the duos <a href="spotify:artist:6j22NwL4PPMnRWAE2Xlaf2">Halfbreed</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7lE1nveP9eIsvC6xkBcLJx">Level Jumpers</a>, worked as the hype man for <a href="spotify:artist:0AoX5cRnGojriIX6lxmP0D">Blaze Ya Dead Homie</a>, and continued his sporadic solo activity with a couple EPs and the album Oh Hell No! (2006). After an extended break from music, <a href="spotify:artist:3qBbBSzMGVPEbuo3G1iy3y">Jones</a> returned in the 2010s with a flurry of featured appearances and short-form solo releases. Additionally, he and <a href="spotify:artist:0AoX5cRnGojriIX6lxmP0D">Blaze Ya Dead Homie</a> released Ride the Stars (2016) as <a href="spotify:artist:7iFMqEO93hs3eRC3ukpykq">Zodiac Mprint</a>, which was followed by the third proper R.O.C. album, Digital Voodoo (2017). ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
