"Rap is the evolution of poetry." So says Richard Raw, the lyrical wordsmith and music phenom who is taking the industry by storm with his unique blend of soul, spoken word, funk and hip-hop. Born on the cusp of the of the 1980s hip-hop boom, Raw is influenced by hip-hop greats Public Enemy, KRS-1, Rakim and Nas as well as soul artists Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder.
After releasing numerous mixtapes and working on a range of other music projects, Richard Raw released his 2011 debut album entitled The Renaissance. Once he completed The Renaissance, Raw immediately began working on his follow up project entitled Soul Sessions, which was released In November 2013.
As a poet, MC, producer, and songwriter, one cannot deny Richard Raw the comprehensive title ‘artist’. When asked what makes him different, Raw simply states, “I’m versatile; no one is the same everyday and I am lucky enough to be able to express those differences through my music.”
