If there’s one thing Houston rapper Rob G. has in this world, it’s experience. From appearing on MTV in a Roc-A-Fella sponsored rhyme battle against the nations Top Battle Rappers like Wreckognize and TJ Swann to escaping death in a drug deal gone wrong to witnessing the death of his father at the age of 12, this artist’s life has been nothing short of breathtaking. Another thing Rob G. has, that comes as a direct result of said experiences, is superior mic skills. Hailing from a city where game and affiliations at times trump verbal dexterity and lyricism, Rob G. is a shining star in a hazy town that has produced some of hip-hop’s hardest artists. Rob G. was born in Chicago, the son of two immigrants from Uruguay – a small country in South America. His family moved to Houston when he was three years old to the Southwest side of town, an area known for it’s cultural diversity and high levels of poverty. “My parents were illegal immigrants.” Rob G. remembers as he sits in his label – Latium Entertainment’s – palatial office, also on Houston’s Southwest side. “I come from those parents who came to this country with nothing, and didn’t even speak English but worked hard to make a better life for their family.” Rob G. knows a little something about the grind, having worked with his mother doing whatever it took to survive since the age of 12 – just after his father passed from cancer. “When my father died, that left me with just my mom.” He remembers, “I watched him go from a strong healthy man, to skin and bones in front of my face. My sister was already grown and kind of doing her own thing, so I didn’t see much of her at the time.
