Hyro da Hero doesn't have to front. The Houston-born, Los Angeles-based rapper has a vision for music. It doesn't include flavor-of-the-week ringtones and absurd novelty dances. It has nothing to do with pre-packaged Hollywood pretense or fluffed and folded egos.

However, he's also apt to get the club bouncing with a grit and gusto that's classy and chock full of swagger. Hyro touched down in Los Angeles in November 2007, and he's been silently plotting his hip hop infiltration. It started when he released his first mixtape on Christmas Eve 2007, entitled Gangsta Rock, exclusively as a free download via iLike.com. The album went on to be downloaded in excess of 150,000 times by fans worldwide. One cut, "Noose Around Hip Hop" called out the so-called "Rap royalty" for overlooking social tragedies. The track illustrated a socially conscious side of Hyro's that has only become more prominent in his new material.
