Brooklyn’s own RRose RRome has been applying heavy pressure in 2025, making serious noise in the streets with the release of his new full-length project, O.C.B. (Only Cowards Beg). The gritty, unapologetically raw album has already attracted some of the most respected names in NYC’s hip hop circle, including Vado and The LOX and now, the energy behind the project might reach even higher with a possible remix collaboration.
RRome’s lead single “Ziplock,” which features a blistering verse from hip hop titan Jadakiss, has become a standout from the project, catching attention for its street-certified production and no-frills lyricism. Now, rumor has it that French Montana may be stepping in to add his signature flavor to the upcoming “Ziplock” remix, a move that could connect the Bronx and Brooklyn in a major way and further elevate the record.
Speaking on the meaning behind both the track and the O.C.B. project, RRose RRome shared:
“‘Ziplock’ is street championship music — for those who didn’t have a way out, but made a way up. Not glorifying crime in any way — just a celebration of rising above the poverty line by any means. No handouts. Only Cowards Beg.”
With the buzz surrounding the original and remix building, O.C.B. is shaping up to be more than just another street album; it’s a declaration of independence, resilience, and New York grit. Stay tuned for more details on the “Ziplock” remix and whether French officially jumps in the bag with RRome and Jada.
