The rapping polymath’s official website

For over 20 years Rap Raven has been mastering the art of rapping, producing, sound engineering, graphic design and video production. Just as Rap Raven hit the cusp of his art mastery he would place his creative career on hold to focus on community work and black betterment promotion. Now after much time Rap Raven has returned to finish what he started so many years ago, the only difference is now he is the self-proclaimed most skilled polymath in rap entertainment.

Not One But Two Albums


The average musician will selfishly deliver one album per release, so generous and kind is Rap Raven that he delivers two, that's right two. This phenomenon is known as “Da Dinner-Dessert Dichotomy”. two albums, one which is “savoury” (traditional, educational, political and hard-edge) and one which is “sweet” (experimental, retro-futuristic and fun-seeking).

The Despicable and The Beloved Albums

The Despicable


Imaging if Rap Raven’s time traveling ghost possessed a struggling 90’s film score composer and enriched him with hip-hop production and lyrical skills. What would follow is a fusion of live orchestras within a hard edge hip hop production accompanied by political introspective lyricism, how would such a project sound I hear you say?, well, only one way to find out.

The Beloved


Imaging if Rap Raven time traveled back to the 80’s and produced an album based on his limited knowledge of the boogie,
post-disco & dance-pop scene juxtaposed with the future tone of rap lyricism, how would such a project sound I hear you say?, well, only one way to find out.
