Roqy Tyraid (phonetically: Rocky Tirade). Say it right. Hailing all the way from the desert city of Phoenix, Arizona, the tenacious Roqy Tyraid is quickly becoming the de facto underdog of rising independent emcees. His penchant for complex lyricism, social commentary, engaging visual content, and out­standing production make him a powerhouse contender for the current generation. And constant comparisons to living legends such as Black Thought of The Roots and Royce 5'9 only serve to cement these traits as merits. Roqy Tyraid has mastered the art of molding lyricism and a perfected ear for beats into absolute standout material, leaving you immersed in a colorful world courtesy of his own vivid imagination. As of Fall 2021, Roqy has been crowned "Best Rapper" in Phoenix New Times' Best of magazine following an impressive bar-raising series titled Tyraid Tuesdays. This effort follows the release of the critically acclaimed DJ Green Lantern project OUTBREAK. Roqy has has the pleasure of genre blending with his Teddy aka Silencer produced cult hit "Victor Sweet", recent European tour headliners, festival appearances across the US, multiple stints at the top of college radio, and stamps from everyone from Ebro, to Sway Calloway, to The Legendary Beat Junkies. Champion of the everyman. Universally relatable. He is YOUR perspective. Golden era essence with a standout, contemporary edge. Roqy Tyraid is inevitable..
