Music – Minneapolis
UP ROCK is a duo based out of St. Paul, MN. UP ROCK is Dundee (Dean Brewington) and Digie (Roosevelt Mansfield). Both musicians have been involved in the Twin Cities music scene for the past two decades and were members of The Abstract Pack in the mid 90\'s. The Abstract Pack released one of the first nationally recognized hip hop albums from the Twin Cities and would later receive the \"Legend Award\" at the Twin Cities Hip Hop Awards in 2008. The two artist would reestablish their collaboration in 2012 under the name UP ROCK and created an EP in just two short weeks. The sound is self described as Bass heavy, Body Rock hip hop, thats textured and influenced by Dub styled sound systems. They\'re lyrically sharp with catchy hooks. The live show is a combination of MPC\'s, Drums and Electronics to give the live set a \"Band Feel\" but maintain a thick sound. They\'re poised to continue sharing with Minnesota\'s music legacy.
