Grammy-winning hitmaker Roccstar steps from behind the boards with debut album certified crashout
Nov 2, 2026
The producer behind 100+ million records sold comes out from the shadows. Same wall. A different man.
Hollywood, California Nov 1, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - For over a decade, Leon "Roccstar" Youngblood Jr. has been the architect behind other people's biggest moments. Now he's taking the spotlight for himself. Roccstar today announces Certified Crashout, his debut album as an artist, available everywhere October 31.
Certified Crashout is pure, unfiltered flex: big talk, bigger receipts. Roccstar isn't asking for a seat at the table. He built the table, sold the records on it, and has the Grammy sitting on top of it. This album is the sound of a man who spent years making stars and finally decided to talk his talk on his own wax.
The cover says it all. A car tears straight through a brick wall above a frozen mountain road, and Roccstar leans against what's left of it, dressed head to toe in black leather, completely unbothered. Chaos all around him and calm at the center. That's the crashout.
THE RÉSUMÉ BEHIND THE RECORD
Roccstar took home the 2025 Grammy for Best R&B Album as producer, writer, and executive producer on Chris Brown's 11:11 (Deluxe). His catalog spans more than 100 million records sold, including Chris Brown's "Fine China," "Autumn Leaves," "Feel Something," "Angel Numbers," and "Summer Too Hot," Post Malone's "Zack and Codeine," and Ne-Yo's "U 2 Luv," along with work for Usher, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Lopez, Fergie, Prince Royce, and Melissa Etheridge. TV audiences know him from VH1's Love & Hip Hop and Basketball Wives.
Raised in Los Angeles, Roccstar runs RoccAge Holdings LLC, home to RoccAge Entertainment, Roccstar Music, and Roccstar AI. He is also set to receive an honorary doctorate in music from Harvest Christian University.
"I've been making hits for everybody else. This one's for me. I'm not stepping out the studio, I'm crashing out of it." -- ROCCSTAR
