Emilio Rojas, a Rochester-born rapper who attended the University of Rochester for at least a year, is responsible for one of the best city-anthems I’ve heard in a while (not that I’ve heard many). His track, “The 585,” is a shout-out for his hometown that praises our landmarks like the Klassy Kat gentlemen’s club. Below is a rough quality version.
“It’s the Roc ya’ll, the Roc ya’ll, and you know we’re headed to the top ya’ll.” You can bet your ass I’ll be rocking this at every UR party I play as soon as I manage to find a better quality version.
