Richard Oluwarokanmi Adekola a.k.a King Rokan, is an African percussionist, songwriter, arranger and singer. He’s based in Atlanta-Georgia and widely known to the large Nigerian communities in America as Rokan, the Oluaye of Georgia. A title bestowed on him in 2003 by the visiting King of Fuji music worldwide-K1 De Ultimate.
King Rokan plays a blend of Juju, Gospel and Fuji. He has released two albums in the US.
While holidaying in Nigeria last year December, he fell in love with the ubiquitous Naija hip hop sound, thus, he realized the production talent of super producer Puffy T, and recorded some singles featuring some upcoming acts. Pleased with his newest experimentation with hip hop, Rokan jetted back to his base in US to work more on some new hip hop materials but without alienating the core African beats and vocal styling of Juju, Gospel and Fuji.
The good news is, from November till early next year, King Rokan, will be releasing, promoting and performing his newly recorded materials in Nigeria featuring some of our upcoming talented home boys,
