- In this interview, Arshan sat down with Hardrock to discuss his versatile rock-inspired rap sound, his unique Atlanta-based come-up that saw him have a stint in the military, and gaining notoriety from legendary co-signs like Frank Ocean, Avril Lavigne, Waka Flocka Flame, and more.
Hardrock’s musical journey began with playing the trumpet and drums in his school’s band, which ultimately led him to start making beats in sixth grade before he ever picked up the mic. After a serious knee injury, his hoop dreams were sidelined, which pushed him further into pursuing his music. After years of building his sound, he started gaining traction in 2022 following the release of his tracks “Flexup” and “God’s Hands”. During this period, Hardrock was serving in the military with no access to his phone, leaving him clueless that his music was blowing up on the outside. From there, Hardrock’s stock rose like crazy, eventually putting him in rooms with producers like SAINT, F1LTHY, and BNYX, who have helped Hardrock cement his position in the underground scene along with his music reaching ears far beyond it.
In their conversation, Hardrock and Arshan discussed Hardrock’s journey from small stages to headlining shows, being influenced by his mom and dad’s eclectic taste in music that spanned R&B to Crunk music, producing before rapping, being “a menace” on the basketball court, what led him to join the military, his music blowing up while serving, working with F1LTHY and BNYX, being co-signed by industry greats like Frank Ocean and Avril Lavigne, having over 800 of his songs be leaked, being tapped in with A$AP ROCKY, wanting to work with Young Thug, SahBabii, Future, & LUCKI, and modeling for 1017 ALYX 9SM in Milan, Italy.

Das an over generalization because not all personas are lame
Nigga just learned the word generalization and is trying to apply
we want the untiljapan interview asap
I'll pay with my entire bank to make ts happen
the fact we barely know what he looks like
Best Interviewer i've seen. Doesn't interupt the artist, asks very introspective and important questions, and makes the artist feel comfortable, not rushing or forcing the vibe 💯🌠
Arshan been doing this for a minute
i love that you asked specifically about that bar on marathon, great interviewer

Facts, bro can be private but it's important to be more open and interactive w/ ur fans
Always knew he had crazy potential. But to see that he’s really growing a crazy fanbase and overall superstar image while moving at his own pace still even through the hype and buzz is cool af. He’s not trying hard af for anybody but himself
I’m glad you were the one to get the interview - fr underground heavyweight
Flexup is my all time favorite song from Hardrock seeing him blow up more and more has been wonderful thank you for this interview bro definitely one of my favorite artists also
I’m so glad I got to see hardrock perform once again the vibe in that venue was something.
You're such a gifted interviewer bro, no cap. Brilliant questions

you forgot to ask about the collab with sahbabii and it being supposed to be on 1of1 but then kinda got removed but this was a really amazing interview...loved all the questions you asked fr. Thanks for this
Ay tbh best way to get through to artists if u wanna work wit them is gettin labs wit their producers, 20-40 bucks to start off on a placement is all u need and most of the time u get a song wit em, js gotta keep goin fr
