Derek Johnson aka D-Rock is a Palm Bay, Florida-born Christian hip-hop solo artist who now resides in Macomb, Illinois. After a tough life growing up in the devious streets where he dealt with gang life, drugs, and a few stints in jail, we are introduced to a fighter that changed his life around when he found his faith in God and now works in youth ministry.

With a look up at the sky to gain forgiveness for what happened before and gritted teeth at what he wants to achieve, D-Rock is a seriously determined soul who vowed never to see those suffocating bars again and has stood by his word. Easing into the mic with a flow that is packed with intent and so much love for his creator, you sense a reinvigorated artist that is showing the world that it is indeed possible to turn the picture around if you want it enough!

D-Rock has been releasing music since mid 2019 with hits including On A Mission (feat. DJLC), Let Go (feat. Josiah Williams & King Marino), Back Down (feat. N!X.), Meddlin’ and Still Broke (feat.Temple Dior.)
