- About Me:
- Bobby Creekwater, real name Antione Rogers, was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He attended Clark Atlanta University for one year before leaving to pursue his music career. He and Charlie Hustle formed the hip hop duo Jatis, which was signed to Columbia Records and then Loud Records, but Loud was shut down before Jatis could release an album.
As an unsigned artist in 2004, Creekwater appeared with Aasim on the song "Anyway", from P-Money's album Magic City. Creekwater was noticed by Shady Records when label executives heard him rapping on a demo by Aasim. Shady Records president Eminem was more interested in Creekwater than Aasim and, in July of 2005, signed him to his label.
In late 2005, Creekwater released a mixtape, Anthem to the Streets, which was hosted by DJ Don Cannon of the Aphiliates. With more than 250,000 copies distributed worldwide, it has easily become one of the greatest mixtapes numbers-wise of all time. Newsweek described the recording in positive terms, saying it "delivers drug-peddling tales over the cheeriest possible tracks. Sesame Street sings crack rap."
In March 2006, he was one of the celebrity panelists at the Detroit Hip-Hop Summit on Financial Empowerment, joined by the likes of Russell Simmons, Eminem, 50 Cent, among others.
On December 5, 2006, Eminem released "Eminem Presents the Re-Up", a mixtape-turned-album created to promote Shady Records' newest members: Stat Quo, Creekwater, and Cashis. The album has gone on to sell more than 2.8 million copies worldwide. Creekwater appears on five tracks, including remixes of Eminem and Nate Dogg's "Shake That" and Eminem and Akon's "Smack That". The album received mixed reviews. The Los Angeles Times wrote that Creekwater "sounds like a demonic André 3000", and the New York Daily News said he "has a deep tone and a smooth enough flow, revealed best on the jazz-funk 'There He Is'." The Sunday Mercury wrote that Creekwater is "easily the best of the three" new signings.
In 2007 he released two mixtapes, "Anthem 2 Da Streetz II", which was hosted by DJ Cannon of the Aphilliates and "Back to Briefcase", which was hosted by DJ Infamous of The Aphilliates. Collectively, the two mixtapes have been distributed more than 350,000 times worldwide. The Washington Post's critic, in writing about the single "Acid Reign", said Creekwater "threatens to usurp T.I.'s throne as King of the South with effortless rhymes and slow-burning brio."
On Halloween of 2008, "The B.C. Era", Creek's new EP was released solely online. In its first week, The B.C. Era, was downloaded over 50,000 times and is standing at over 120,000 downloads to date.
Creek is currently working on his follow up EP "The B.C. Era Deuce" that will be released he second week of March.
His debut album, "A Brilliant Mistake", which will be executive produced by Eminem. Tracks will be produced by Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Mr. Porter, The Alchemist, Don Cannon, and Bobby Creekwater himself, and is scheduled to be released following Eminem's studio release.
