Rome Streetz reigns globally supreme. If you’re looking for the hottest new Griselda artist – all signs point to Rome. He exists as the chosen one. Certainly, every individual to grace the Earth became chosen to breathe air at one point or another. As far as who dons the crispiest crown in all of NY – Rome takes the throne. Whether it be the hills of the Catskills or the city slickin’ corners of Nueva York – Rome’s got somethin for ya nose – Noise Kandy 5.

Fresh off starring as protagonist in the latest Griselda Vision Film, “ADOLF” Rome brought some absolute heat in the most recent edition of his mixtape series – Noise Kandy 5. Furthermore, these sounds resonate through our stereos as much more than noise. Noise Kandy 5 came with plenty of bops as Griselda Records continues to dominate the Fall and terrorize lackluster emcees.

Unimpressed with the State of the Art

Time and time again – the ones who iterate and pivot always see success. Even if the switch up doesn’t lead to success – you must take the risk to reap the reward. Above all else – do something different than everybody else. Everyone knows the definition of insanity… The truly insane nature of Rome Streetz’ flow cannot be undermined. On NK5, Rome sped up the flow majorly and squeezed in many more words per stanza than usual.

Throughout his discography – this man tends to touch upon themes such as good vs. evil or original vs. copycat. He continues to unravel the layers of his subject matter so masterfully. This project serves as a cornerstone for Rome as he continues to exponentially increase his fanbase. Let us touch upon some of the strongest thematic lines from Noise Kandy 5. 

“Eyes on the Prize – but watch your step with the same pace.” – “Go Raw”

On this track, Rome shares incredible wisdom in a line that could be unpacked in so many ways. This could translate to the fact that you need to take daily steps to reach your long term goal. Also, make sure you align your daily operations with what you are trying to reach. Everybody wants to make the big time – small steps and caution will be what gets you there. 

“Weird how the Church broke but the preacher a millionaire.” – “Procall”

Compare this line to “If money’s the devil, why the pastor askin for this shit?” -Higher Self ft. Estee Nack (Noise Kandy 4)

Rome Streetz lyrics will tap deep into your mental and create cerebral connections you never thought possible. All in all – his content will truly make you contemplate facets of reality that you may have never thought about before. Maybe you thought about it before – but not in the way that Rome breaks it down. Therein lies a thin line between good and evil..

“Built for the grind I got stamina.” – “Chrome Magnum”

Rome Streetz submitted greater than 10,000 hours and by the good grace of God he remains in an increasingly poignant position to showcase the breadth of his abilities. 

“I would be lit without rap – I don’t need it but it helps.” – “Fire At Ya Idle Mind (ft. Joey Bada$$)”

The lack-of-desperation theme appears for many artists under the Griselda umbrella. We have seen this from the likes of Prodigy, Ghostface and many other legendary artists, too. Consequently, these artists would be doing just fine without rap. Rome doesn’t need hip-hop, yet he continues to do it – does that make him a rap fiend? Who knows? As long as he keeps providing fans with their fix – everything will be alright.

Sock it to My Pocket

Below we list other themes heard on this tape that Rome tends to tap into. 

“F the elevator I took the stairs and didn’t hold onto the bannister.” – “Chrome Magnum”

Rome consistently drives home the point that successful individuals put in the work every day. Overnight success remains a myth – you must formulate a plan and remain strategically steadfast in your endeavors.

“Hip-hop is dead – you hear the music through my stethoscope.” – “Stunna”

Compare this line to: “Started underground in search of a better view.” – “Heart Break Hotel.” Rome as revivalist? Nah. Rome puts claims to his throne by doing the things true to his craft.

Real Rap Still Exists

For all those out there complaining about the lack of quality hip-hop music – we share in your tribulations. We also encourage you to dive deeper and broaden your horizons. Real rap resides in lesser known areas such as Buffalo and Lynn, Massachusetts – you just have to look.

Over and above all else – it’s just another day. This one begins where the last one ends and so on and so forth. Time for one human is finite – time for all humans never ends. Rome Streetz music allows the listener to understand the cyclical nature of existence and the nature of mankind as the tunes reach your eardrums in the flyest ways possible.
