Henrok: Unrivaled Talent in Hip Hop Production


"Hip Hop is a Vehicle" - Talib Kwali

When it comes to talent, we're told to give credit where credit is due. This is the credit that's due. Henrique Marques III aka Henrok is someone I've grown up with since 4th grade of elementary school. I can honestly say that music has always been his life, his ambition, his drive. Nas, KRS-One, Dr. Dre, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Wu-Tang Clan, The Lox, Jay-Z, N.W.A., The Firm, Eminem and Big Pun were all on blast when it came to Henrok's music selection. From memorizing the lyrics to knowing the track lists of hip-hop albums, Henrok is everything a true Hip-Hop artist is supposed to be. 



Since middle school, Henrok has made productions and tracks that would surprise and impress the most experienced Hip Hop artists and producers. Randomly, I've described to him what I want a beat to sound like and almost instinctively, there it was...

And I don't even rap.
Henrok is someone you'd go to for a hip-hop question, a suggestion for lyrics, a tip in productions or just to talk about music with. Encompassing the old school melodies with 90's hip hop beats into contemporary beats with an old school sound to it puts true hip hop fans into a nostalgic state of mind. Not to mention he ain't too shabby on the mic. Take a listen for yourself:





When looking for a instrumental production, I'd recommend no one else. When asking for someone to collabo with, I'd suggest no one else. When you say underrated and productions in the same sentence, Think Henrok. Anyone he's worked with can attest to his ambition and skill. Take a listen to the radio then listen to Henrok's productions; it's like Sterling Silver to 24K. 

When it comes to talent on the productions, with the lyricism and just an overall knowledge in TRUE Hip Hop; I've heard no better. Henrok; this one's for you, fam. Get 'em.

Giving Credit Where It's Truly Due,
