Jerrod Gore or “Rod G” for short, started rapping at the age of nine. He is originally from the Kenworth neighborhood, but around the age of five, his family relocated to East Ridge. Rod always admired hip hop, to the point he gave it a shot. His older cousins turned him on to the more “Rhythm Tic, Diverse, Rap Style”, which he would later steal tapes from them. During that time he began to format his rap delivery. Separating himself from every other Rapper he has ever heard, Rod used to record himself using a dual cassette boom box with a microphone input. After a while, Rod gave his tapes to his god brother RE-37 and they formed a group call “Pistol Posse”. Then that summer, BI and RE-37 collaborated on a production track that changed the game and the group Paradox was formed. Rod Gore, or “Shurely” was featured on a number of projects with BI, RE 37, Young Flossaz on Life Design Records, Sahringe, Mark Rose, and all the artist on Jenk$ Ent. Albums like “Versatility”, “The Takeova Vol. 1 and Vol. 2”, both “In Tha Trunk” Editions and “Platinum Edition” which is scheduled to drop soon. Rod Gore is currently working on his first solo album entitled “Straight”. Hit singles such as: “I’m At It Again”, and “The Love of the Game” will keep listeners at the edge of their seat. He has preformed in numbers of talent shows hosted by Shelia Stewart of Power 98, the play “Lights Out” acted by the NAACP of Hickory NC, entering battles on local radio and at the Lyricist Lounge in Gastonia NC, and numbers of clubs and park jams. He is one of the few rappers that are “unexpected” but will be “respected”. He is the future of Jenkz Entertainment.
