(AllHipHop News) Rock a.k.a The Rockness Monstah of Heltah Skeltah is back with his latest Mixtape entitled Rockin Out West, his first release since beating an attempted murder charge.
Rockin Out West will be available September 7th, 2010 for physical CD release and according to Rock, the album is a "gem."
"Most diamonds are rocks that form under high-pressure high-temperature conditions but at the end you get something beautiful, something special, a gem," Rock said. "That’s all a metaphor for the case I faced over the past two and a half years."
The album is an ode to Rock's time spent out on the West Coast in Los Angeles with guest like Kurupt, Ras Kass, Nate Dogg, and more.
“The case and the pressure I was under created the climate that gave me the fuel and the fire to do this project. It happened on accident, but then again I don’t really believe in accidents," Rock said.
Rock was accused of being a moonlighting as a pimp at night and shooting a rival in January of 2008.
He was eventually released on $125,000 bail and proclaimed his innocence in the alleged shooting, assault, as well as allegations that he was pimping.
Last month, Rock was found not guilty of the charges.
Rock will also be releasing several music videos from the forthcoming Mixtape.
The first release off Rockin Out West is "Rockridah" featuring the rapper rhyming over 2Pac's classic "Ambitionz Az A Ridah."
