About
Robert Lawrence Javay Porcha` (Rock Box) was born June 19, 1990
in The Antelope Valley Hospital of Lancaster, California.
Robert Porcha` grew up in an inner city, low income apartment in
Palmdale Ca, on Q-12 ave. His mother being a hard working woman,
did whatever it took to feed him and his three other siblings. His father
was a working man and also a local emcee, that went by the name of
Rock Box. His father was in and out of the house all the time. Robert
was forced to grow up fast. Years passed and is mother met a new
man, the father of his two step sisters and baby brother. The criminal
activity in Palmdale began a steady increase and so He and his
family moved to Lancaster,Ca. In hopes of escaping an environment
infected by drugs, gang activity and violence. Change came but along
with change more problems followed. His step father battled his
addictions. Struggle followed Robert and his family. His mother had her last child. She named him after Robert Grandfather, Larry. A year later they moved to California City, Ca. This move made for a brighter future for Robert and his family.
"High school was difficult for me." He didn't do very well academically, but excelled in Physical Education and English. He had no motivation. Class clown was his title. Robert was first introduced to the art of creating rhyme by his brother Lante (Mystic Brawli),
his sophomore year of high school. They both grew a passion to rhyme words and had the goal of becoming "big time rappers".
His Sophomore year he became very ill. Doctors diagnosed this illness as a Pseudo tumor. They performed surgery on his nasal passage and the healing time took months, which caused Robert to be home schooled. He continued school his junior year. He spent most of his time slacking off.
He soon learned that he was not on track to graduate and was going to be a high school drop out. He transferred to a nearby continuation school. His life was about to change. His grandmother got really ill and the family feared she would pass. His grandfather (Larry Samuel Jr.) started to change. He began to be a Christ-like example. He helped his wife to regain strength through love and prayer. On his way to dialysis early one Monday morning, Larry had a heart attack. He died that day with a smile on his face. Robert knew that his grandfather was at peace and it was all because of Christ. Robert wanted the same. Later that year he was transferred to a continuation school. He had to make new friends. Having a lot of extra time on his hands, he started to read the bible more often. Reading it throughout the day changed his way of thinking. He went from getting a .76 G.P.A. to an outstanding 3.8. He was a strong leader, pointing his peers and teachers toward God. He graduated Salutatorian, class 08'. He continued on in writing lyrics and he recorded many of his songs on the family karaoke machine. He's passion for music and God grew.
In the fall he went into a Missionary Apprentice program called A.I.M. (Adventures in Missions) at S.I.B.I (Sunset International Bible Institute), located in Lubbock, Texas. He studied the bible for eight months and went to work in Miami, Florida, where he now resides. He is currently Youth Minister of the Homestead Church of Christ, Evangelist, Missionary, Beat Producer, Recording Artist and Lyricist. His goal in life is sharing the Joy that he has today and how to get it.
