PnB Rock hails from Pastorius and Baynton Streets in the Germantown section of Philadelphia β thatβs where he found the βPβ and βBβ in his name. Thatβs also where he found himself in a bit of trouble.
When Rock was 13 years old, he got sent away to a youth detention program for fighting in school and committing robberies. When Rock turned 19, he was sent to prison; it was there where he learned to blend calming melodies with hard street stories.βThere were people up there singing in the yard. They were doing the same thing that I was doing, but they were serious with it,β he remembers. βThere would be crowds around them and that was our entertainment, everybody loved it.β PnB wrote his entire first mixtape RNB (Real Nigga Bangaz), while he was locked up and eventually released in 2014. βMy first mixtape was highly anticipated in my city and I drove around selling them hand-to-hand,β he says, remarking that he barely made any money off the sales after he factored in the cost of gas. βIt was all love because people got to take pictures and meet me face-to-face.β
The bubbling singer/songwriter explored his musical side; a side which was fueled by his motherβs massive CD collection which included albums from the Temptations as well as 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay Z. βMy whole life I was surrounded by music. I didnβt really like anything else,β he says. βI didnβt watch cartoons, I didnβt play sports, I just liked music, money and girls.β
When RNB2 dropped in February 2015, Rockβs loyal following had propelled him way past his native Philly blocks. It was enough to earn the attention of a number of major labels, including Atlantic Records, where PnB Rock signed earlier this year.
If RNB and RNB2 laid the foundation, PnBβs newly released RNB3 will set the stage for a long career. Led by tracks like βFleekβ β a song which Rock wrote during his last day in prison and now has over 2.4 million plays on SoundCloud β RNB3 will be PnB Rockβs biggest yet.
On the Sonny Digital-produced βAlone,β he opens up about his shortcomings as a man, admitting that he hasnβt been the most faithful. βMaybe I could turn down 10, but I canβt turn down 20,β he sings about the amount of advances he gets on social media.
Then there are his more laid back tracks like βFeelin Like Diddyβ and βNo Time,β better known as the ultimate hustlerβs anthem. βIβm just telling a female that I could give you whatever you want, but Iβm not trying to be tied down,β he says. βI could entertain you and fuck with you, but donβt expect me to be committed to nobody. Iβm committed to the grind.β
You see, when it comes to PnB Rock, itβs best to leave the flowers and candy behind. You wonβt be needing them. βI got a new sound for sure,β he says. βI could touch different topics that these other artists canβt touch, because Iβm in the streets.β
On September 12, 2022 PnB Rock died in a shooting at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles in Los Angeles after his girlfriend posted their location on an Instagram story.
