PnB Rock
PnB Rock wants you to catch his vibes. Following the breakout success of his platinum hit “Selfish,” the 26-year- old artist recently released his most creatively ambitious project– Catch These Vibes. “I just went in the booth and vibed out as opposed to writing stuff out,” he explains about his freestyle approach. “This whole project, I didn’t write nothing. I just vibed out.” Both Rakim Allen, the singer, and rapper– -who prefers to describe himself as an “artist”—garnered his creative chops and stage name from the intersection of Pastorius and Baynton in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, where he grew up. His streetwise melodies come from a real place. A self-described “problem child,” he was kicked out of his mother’s house at 15 and turned to selling drugs and squatting in abandoned homes to get by. At 19, he was sent to prison for violating probation and there, discovered his musical talents. “I could touch different topics that these other artists can’t touch because I’m in the streets,” he explains. He honed his vocal sound while incarcerated, recording tracks like “Fleek” that would end up on his 2014 debut mixtape RNB.
