Rock’s unique musical style range of hip hop and heavy metal to country rock and rap, has led to his following of countless fans worldwide. The release of his album Born Free in 2010 debuted at No. 5, selling 189,000 copies in its first week. His most recent album, Rebel Soul, became certified gold shortly after its release.
