Today, the multi-talented Roger Mooking, a Juno Award-winning Toronto rapper, globally recognized celebrity chef, restaurateur, accomplished author, and star of popular Food Network and Cooking Channel shows such as “Man Fire Food,” “Everyday Exotic,” and “Heat Seekers,” introduces his latest rap album, “SOUNDBITES,” accompanied by a visually striking new release from the project titled “I Can’t Stand.”
Roger Mooking’s remarkable journey transcends the boundaries of the culinary world. His culinary empire spans across North America, encompassing restaurants, captivating television appearances, and bestselling books. However, his artistic career began as a groundbreaking rapper, leaving an indelible mark on Canada’s contemporary Hip Hop scene. He not only carved a niche for himself as a solo artist but also played a vital role as a founding member of renowned groups such as Maximum Definitive and Bass is Base. Born in Trinidad and raised in Canada, this Hip Hop lyricist boasts an impressive discography, which includes five albums and the distinction of winning a Juno Award while securing multiple Juno Award nominations.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop, Roger unveils his latest masterpiece, “SOUNDBITES,” marking his sixth studio album. This musical endeavor takes inspiration from the astonishing fact that the average human attention span is a mere 8.25 seconds. “SOUNDBITES” is a lyrical opus, featuring evocative tracks that pay homage to the essence of music, community, creativity, and the ever-present chaos of life. The album delves into the profound influence of time on our world, offering a unique perspective, particularly from the Black community’s point of view. Structured into three distinct parts, it mirrors the stages of life: the Learning, the Living, and the Leaving. Additionally, “SOUNDBITES” serves as the captivating soundtrack to Roger’s forthcoming book, “Curious Sounds: A Dialogue in Three Movements,” slated for release on Tuesday, October 24th.
