Dee-1 joins Memphis Bleek to discuss authenticity, accountability, and the balance between commercial success and staying true to one's morals in hip hop.

Drink Champs Network Presents: ROC Solid with Memphis Bleek. This week on ROC Solid, we tappin’ in with none other than Dee-1  —  New Orleans lyricist and motivational force Dee-1 pulls up with purpose for a powerful episode you don’t want to miss!

Dee-1 proves you can represent the culture, uplift…
