Newark, NJ, USA

Newark rapper and recording artist Penthouse Rome draws on his deep pain to create the raw, authentic sound heard on his work today. Gearing up to make some serious waves, Rome's style is one that elicits a contemplative state, driven by his steady yet heavy voice. Growing up, Rome’s younger life was defined by violence and life on the streets, eventually leading to multiple stints in the prison system. While locked up Rome used his time productively, realizing that there was more inside of him than his tumultuous past would let him think - usually not much of a talker, Rome found music as an outlet for the complex emotions swirling within him, using rap to depressurize and share the wisdom he's gained along the journey. Taking inspiration not from one particular genre, but rather 'good' music in general, Rome's musical influences spread across the spectrum, culminating in the balanced, well-composed sound evident in his recent work.
