It seems like everyone is a rapper these days. Penn State has certainly had their fair share of rappers come through over the past few years. Some are good. Some are not so good. Class of 2010 graduate (and former Collegian writer!) and Philadelphia native Adam Ferrone, also known as Rone, falls in the good category. His debut single, "200 Miles to Philadelphia," was released last week and produced by Ritz Reynolds, who has worked with The Roots and Mac Miller.
