Formerly known as Hi-Tec, Florida’s Rocwell blasts through the lobby doors with his tongue lashing out lyrics that many MC’s would stray away from. These are personal songs folks; you know the kind, they’re what made Eminem famous but without the whole “I’m gonna kill my wife” stuff. Rocwell has been leading people peer into the depths of his mind since the tender age of 12 when he first started using writing as an outlet. It came naturally and stuck bringing us to the day of “Da Hustla”. His lyrics are top-notch but the production is middle of the ground, which is a shame. He needs to hone his craft alongside the backdrop of some real bombastic cuts but only time and money and elbow grease is stopping him.

Conceived and MC'd by Renaissance main man Rocwell, Untouchables is not a bold new concept: It's just a mixtape with a bunch of Renaissance compatriots (mostly from Orlando) putting their best rhymes forward. But again, looks can be deceiving. Rocwell may get his face in front of crowds as a lyric-spitter.
Ultimately, Untouchables is a holistic and highly polished mix that functions perfectly as a resume for Rocwell and for the Orlando hip-hop scene at large. - Jason Ferguson
