Rome Fortune Facts

He comes from a musical family. His grandfather, Richard Adderley, was a jazz musician and was Rome’s biggest influence on his music and life in general.

His grandfather played vibraphone, and co-produced his EP Beautiful Pimp II in 2014, and appeared in a music video for his track OneDay in February 2015.

Through his grandfather, Rome is related to 2 well-known musicians who were also brothers, jazz alto saxophonist Julian Edwin “Cannonball” Adderley, and Nat Adderley, a jazz trumpeter.

Due to his family’s musical background, Rome draws significant inspiration from jazz, and considers it “pretty much parallel to hip-hop.”

Rome toured with the British indie rock group Glass Animals in summer of 2014 and went on a North American tour entitled Eyes on Me in March 2015.

Rome has had problems with the authorities in the past, but the matter went without publicity. He turned himself into police custody after a brief announcement in January 2015.

He was taken to Cobb County Jail in Marietta, Georgia on January 16, 2015. Fortunately, less than a month later, on February 6, 2015, Rome announced he would be released.

Rome cites his musical influences to be the 1990s and 2000s rappers, especially DMX.

Rome proudly said that it was DMX’s album Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, released on December 22, 1998, that changed his life.

His musical style changed slightly from EP to EP, and mixtape to mixtape. He has incorporated regular hip hop, blended ratchet, and trap music elements on Beautiful Pimp (2013), and has used electronic music for his EP Small VVorld (2014).

In 2018, on his EP Beautiful Pimp 3, he collaborated with rap artists and singers such as Toro Y Moi, Telli, Cig Droopy, Lamont, 03 Greedo, and Young Thug.
