ROCCSTAR (@mecstarmusic) - "Certified Crashout" (Album)

For over a decade, Leon “Roccstar” Youngblood Jr. has been the architect behind other people’s biggest moments. Now he’s taking the spotlight for himself. Roccstar today announces Certified Crashout, his debut album as an artist, available everywhere October 31.

Certified Crashout is pure, unfiltered flex: big talk, bigger receipts. Roccstar isn’t asking for a seat at the table. He built the table, sold the records on it, and has the Grammy sitting on top of it. This album is the sound of a man who spent years making stars and finally decided to talk his talk on his own wax.

The cover says it all. A car tears straight through a brick wall above a frozen mountain road, and Roccstar leans against what’s left of it, dressed head to toe in black leather, completely unbothered. Chaos all around him and calm at the center. That’s the crashout.

THE RÉSUMÉ BEHIND THE RECORD

Roccstar took home the 2025 Grammy for Best R&B Album as producer, writer, and executive producer on Chris Brown’s 11:11 (Deluxe). His catalog spans more than 100 million records sold, including Chris Brown’s “Fine China,” “Autumn Leaves,” “Feel Something,” “Angel Numbers,” and “Summer Too Hot,” Post Malone’s “Zack and Codeine,” and Ne-Yo’s “U 2 Luv,” along with work for Usher, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, Fergie, Prince Royce, and Melissa Etheridge. TV audiences know him from VH1’s Love & Hip Hop and Basketball Wives.

Raised in Los Angeles, Roccstar runs RoccAge Holdings LLC, home to RoccAge Entertainment, Roccstar Music, and Roccstar AI. He is also set to receive an honorary doctorate in music from Harvest Christian University.

“I’ve been making hits for everybody else. This one’s for me. I’m not stepping out of the studio, I’m crashing out of it.” — ROCCSTAR

Deezle (@DeezleBeats) - 'Rodeo"

Grammy-winning producer and artist Deezle is back with "Rodeo" - an infectious, high-energy dance banger that completely breaks the mold. Co-produced alongside Dizzle on the Keys, the track brings together a dynamic lineup featuring Bravo Capries, Mike Dizzle, Young City, Lyrikal Bell, and Keva Holiday. Shifting away from heavy hip-hop atmospheric tones into pure, high-octane club energy, "Rodeo" fuses heavy southern bounce, driving basslines, and fast, pulse-pounding synth lines. Deezle and his collaborators trade effortless flows over sweeping risers, punchy kick drums, and a euphoric peak-time drop delivering an unexpected curveball built strictly for the floor.
