Washington D.C. native, Roc Dezul, born Terrell R. McLeod, has always aspired to make his mark as Hip Hop Royalty. At a very young age music was a big influence in his life. He grew up listening to an array of R&B and Soul music. Dezul's top influences were Legends such as, Steve Wonder,Nas ,jay z,common,Gangstarr,EPMD ,Black thought of the Roots,and Marvin Gay, just to name a few. In High School is where Dezul soon discovered his talent, as a prolific and quite energetic Lyricist as he entertained the mass of his peers. This came as no surprise considering his enormous love for Hip Hop. 
These early days of discovery, are what truly fueled Roc Dezul' s aspirations, to take his talents to the world on a professional level. He then paired up with (4) of his friends who also shared in his lyrical talent and love of music, to start a Hip Hop group called "Knightz". The group quickly gained momentum from their start in the high school cafeteria to local stages all over DC. Here, Roc Dezul polished and refined his skills as an MC, as the group rose to becoming more than just your local Hip Hop stars. The Knightz became the opening act for major artists such as Common, Erykah Badu, Ludacris, and many more. 
Dezul's professional recording began out of Night Flight Studio's; owned by hit songwriter and producer Kevin Jackson, husband of Stacy Lattisaw. The group recorded under the guidance of his mentor and engineer, the late hit producer Raymond Brown (aka Scottie Beats). Scottie Beats, cousin of super producer Rich Harrison, would always encouraged Dezul to step into the solo arena and record a Title Album, due to his unique skill, menacing charisma, and uncanny ability to rock a crowd. Hearing Scottie's voice reverberate in his head over time, finally motivated Dezul to venture out and make his name, in the industry. Dezul take's pride in his ability to fuse and arrange just the right mix of R&B Soul with a Hip Hop twist, in which the results are always a groundbreaking hit.
Timeless lyrics, strong and confident presence, unique voice, and ambition is what solidifies Dezul's foundation. If Vincent Van Gough could paint a Hip Hop Masterpiece, it would be Roc Dezul. Dezul, has an infectious way of taking his fans on a journey and giving them their money's worth, whether during a show or in the comforts of their own speakers. Roc Dezul's mission is to change the game in his own way, with his signature brand of heart thumping, mind blowing, body breaking, Rhythm-Rock. Dezul truly believe's that for every moment he's blessed to grace the microphone and move a crowd, he stands on the shoulders of the Legends of Hip Hop in honor. Energy is most definitely the name of the game for young Roc Dezul and its addictive indeed.
