The drummer, songwriter and music producer known as Jamal Batiste has released his latest EP album, “All Rock'd Up.” “All Rock'd Up” contains seven original Jamal Batiste tracks for an approximate total listening time of nearly half an hour. Like the rest of Batiste's repertoire, the extended-play album has been proudly published on the Jam-All Pro. Music Group independent record label. Innovative, high-impact, and packed with lyric gymnastics and urban poetry, “All Rock'd Up” is an EP to put Jamal Batiste on the map once and for all.

Jamal Batiste cites as his main artistic influences Lecrae, Kendrick Lamar, Dee-1, Linkin Park, the Roots, Mint Condition, and Russell Batiste. His own style mixes elements from a great many genres, primarily including soul, funk, and R&B, but also rock, hip-hop, classical, and jazz. While his new EP, “All Rock'd Up” comes out of the gate sounding like a straightforward hardcore rap record, listeners will find much more in store for them as the EP carries forward.

In addition to the considerable talents of Jamal Batiste, himself, “All Rock'd Up” also features the skills of Mik Jag, Ka$h Akbar, Vegas Cola, Sammi Joy, Fya Tha Phenom, Candace Sharper, Alana Creecy, Darryl "Baby D." McCoy Jr., Cognac, and Shaggadelic.

Asked to comment on the overall themes of his EP, Jamal Batiste writes, “Know and believe in yourself and your worth. Fight to stay positive, righteous, motivated, and inspired to work towards your dreams and goals in life. Be God's living example, a light for others to see.”
