  • David Williams (born 1983), better know by his stage name Roscoe, is a rapper from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Los Angeles, California. He is the younger brother of Kurupt, member of Tha Dogg Pound. Roscoe had early exposure to hip-hop by going to the studio with Kurupt at the age of 10. A native of Philadelphia, Roscoe flew to California to watch his brother lay down tracks for Tha Dogg Pound's debut record, Dogg Food. Inspired by what he saw, he soon began to regularly hook up with Kurupt on the road and in the studio, soaking in the West Coast beats while practicing his rapping skills. In 1998, Roscoe made his first appearance on the song "Can't Let That Slide", featured on his brother's debut solo album, Kuruption!. In 2001, rapper/producer Daz Dillinger helped Roscoe put together his first mixtape, When the Pain Inflict. Drawing favorable reviews from the underground circuit, Roscoe signed with Priority to release his debut record, "Young Roscoe Philaphornia". With help from a few seasoned producers such as Organized Noize, Soopafly, J. Wells, DJ Quik, Def Jef, Fingazz and L.T. Hutton, the album was recorded and scheduled for release in 2002 but was pushed back for release until mid-2003. "Philaphornia" was a great album, it had the vibe of old school westcoast songs, yet was filled with the young rapper's artistic talents. His singles "Smooth Sailing", "Head to toe", and "Get Ready" all had amazing videos and were strong hits for the streets. He attended Capistrano Valley High School. In 2006, after a 3 year wait, Roscoe dropped his second album "I Luv Cali" after experiencing a near fatal car accident. This album was a second awakening for him. Interested in more than being an artist, Roscoe started his own Rose of Sharon Entertainment company with Kurupt and their mother. Roscoe is a member of his own created group "Y.A. " (Youth Authority/Young assassins) The Tracklist from the new Album * Philaphornia Pt. 2 Tha Philly Fanatic (Exclusive from DUBCNN)(2009) 01. Cali Intro 02. Nothin' But A Gangsta Party Pt. 2 (ft.

  • David Williams, tunnetaan paremmin nimellä Roscoe, on rap-muusikko Philadelphiasta, Pennsylvanian osavaltiosta. Hän on rap-artisti Kuruptin pikkuveli. Hän kuuli rap-musiikkia jo nuorena, koska kävi 10-vuotiaana Kuruptin kanssa levytysstudiolla. Hän lensi Kaliforniaan katsomaan, kun Kurupt teki Tha Dogg Poundin debyyttialbumia, Dogg Foodia. Kurupt on yksi Tha Dogg Poundin jäsenistä. Roscoe itsekin innostui rapista, oltuaan studiolla ja alkoi harjoitella rap-taitojaan. Vuonna 1998 Roscoe esiintyi ensimmäistä kertaa urallaan, Kuruptin debyyttialbumilla, Kuruption!illa, kappaleessa nimeltä "Can't Let That Slide". Vuonna 2001 räppäri/tuottaja Daz Dillinger auttoi häntä kokoamaan ensimmäisen mixtapensa, When the Pain Inflict. Roscoe sai sopimuksen Priority Recordsilta, jotta hän pääsisi julkaisemaan debyyttialbuminsa, nimeltään "Young Roscoe Philaphornia". Albumin saatua apua tuottajilta, kuten Organized Noize, Soopafly, J. Wells, DJ Quik, Def Jef, Fingazz ja L.T. Hutton, se nouhoitettiin ja aiottiin julkaista vuonna 2002, mutta julkaistiin vasta vuoden 2003 puolivälissä. Hänen singlensä "Smooth Sailing", "Head to toe", ja "Get Ready" olivat suosittuja hittejä kaduille. Hän meni opiskelemaan Capistrano Valley High Schooliin. Vuonna 2006, kolmen vuoden tauon jälkeen hän julkaisi toisen albuminsa, nimeltään "I Luv Cali". Hän perusti oman yhtiön, nimeltään Rose of Sharon Entertainment Kuruptin ja heidän äitinsä kanssa, koska ei enää ollut niin kiinnostunut artistina olosta. Vuonna 2008 hän julkaisi vielä albumit Stray Dogg - Off Tha Leash, Off Tha Chain ja Kurupt Co-Starring Roscoe - The Frank and Jess Story
