Fareed El Boricua Arabe - 'Rock On'

Review by Ionas Finser & Staff

A hard-hitting electric guitar and drum duo begin “Rock On” with a bang. These Rock n’ Roll instruments provide a fast-paced, high-voltage base for Fareed El Boricua Arabe’s smooth, confident vocals to enter the mix.

Fareed immediately makes it clear that he is a threat in both spitting bars and creating powerful Rock vibes.

The elements of Rock and Hip Hop in “Rock On” are fused together as tightly as your ears will be to the radio when this song comes on. It doesn’t stick to one genre, and takes you on a journey through freely flowing verses and dangerously catchy choruses.

Lyrically, Fareed phases between melody and spoken word. The confidence apparent in his flammable verses is contagious and inspiring, drawing upon his past in order to paint a vivid image of his present and shining future.

“…And the DJ played while I was spitting fire / I was inspired to build my empire / Now I reign in flames I'm taking over da game / I can see my name written in the Rock & Roll hall of fame!”

“Rock On” is beautifully crafted evidence of Fareed El Boricua Arabe’s tenacity and finesse. His melodic, rhythmic, and textural language is truly impressive and there is no conceivable limit to where this passionate artist will go. For now, we can all rock out to this catchy single as Fareed rises to the top.

After DCB decided to go separate ways, Fareed and Andrew Welsh formed the freestyle group Spirit Matter. Fareed had a chance run in with Frankie Bones at RPBC, a popular record pool in New York City.  Frankie Bones was working at the time with Tommy Musto for Midnight Sun/Tropical Heat Records on a song titled "Crimes Of Passion."
