About Rome Streetz

Rome Streetz wowed a crowd with the first rhymes he ever spit in public, and the impeccable bars haven’t stopped since that middle school rap battle. He was born in London but moved to Queens as a toddler, growing up with his mother. Rome’s aunt introduced him to rap through the late, great Biggie, and around 10, Rome started writing his own bars. But he was also “fucking up in school,” and got sent to London. At 17, he almost signed with a London-based record label. But he was sent back to New York where he enrolled in college, only doing a semester before being incarcerated. While he did multiple jail stints over the years, he continued to pursue music. In 2011 he moved to Brooklyn and started uploading music on YouTube and SoundCloud, also paying his dues at open mics and battles that forged vital career connections. He dropped his debut album I Been Thru Mad Shit in 2016. Since then, he’s dropped 19 projects, and signed with Griselda Records in 2021, dropping Kiss The Ring in 2022. Enter his forthcoming project, Hatton Garden Hold Up, which he says is rife with “dark, greasy” bars over sinister Daringer production.
