Scripture tells us that out of the mouths of babes, great wisdom comes. iROCC, whose name stands for I Rely On Christ Completely (Proverbs 3:5), shows just how much truth those words contain.
 “I want to touch not just kids, but all people, and let them understand what this is all about,” says lil iROCC. “It's not about me. It's about God the Father. I want to lead people to Christ, and also let them know it's fun to be with God. When you have Him, you don't have to be afraid of anything.”
Born in New Orleans, and raised for the last 10 years in Atlanta, lil iROCC was always a very daring, outgoing personality, says his mother, Treiva Williams, and was modeling and doing TV spots by the age of three.
His own path to Christ also came at an early age, in 1997. Treiva was undergoing treatment for cancer when both she and her husband gave their lives to Christ and became active in the ministry of the local church. Before long Lil iROCC and his three siblings followed in their parent's footsteps, each committing their own lives to the Lord. They are mentored in Atlanta 's New Birth Missionary Baptist Church under Bishop Eddie Long.
At an age when most children have far less serious things on their minds, Lil iROCC is clearly a young man with a deep sense of calling and purpose, building his ministry under the banner: “Created to Praise. Called to Minister. Chosen to Represent.” (Based on Jeremiah 1:5-10).
“I want kids to understand that God created everything, including them,” he concludes, “and we all belong to Christ, whether we realize that or not. I've had drama and problems going on in my own life, and when I've taken them to Him, He's always been there to solve them for me. I want everybody to know He'll do the same for them, too.”
Lil iROCC Williams was Signed by Forefront Records/EMI Gospel on June 25, 2003 . He was nominated for 19th Annual Stellar Awards for Rap/Hip Hop Gospel CD of the Year & Children's Performance of the Year (which he won).
Later, he scooped the 35th Annual Dove Awards nominee for Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year category.
In 2005 Lil iRocc came out with his second album, The Sequel. Sporting an edgier and more mature sound, The Sequel had a stellar cast of contributors, including production genius Darkchild, and his cousin and renowned neo-soul act Canton Jones. e will be found spending time playing Playstation's Madden 2003. His favorite team is Green Bay Packers, while his favorite food is Buffalo wings. He loves to watch the animal Planet and the Discovery Channel.
