Pre-Order 'Livelihood' (EP): http://smarturl.it/LivelihoodEP

Denver rapper Donnie Raven makes his debut in a major way with “Rainin’,” a straight-up lyrical showcase featuring a guest verse from wordplay assassin Elzhi, with production supplied by your favorite producer’s favorite producer…Nottz Raw!

It may be his first single ever—and it stems from his upcoming 'Livelihood' EP—but Raven sounds as put-together and confident as someone who’s been doing this for years. That could be because he cut his teeth as a freestyle champion in his high school years. And even though he’s moved on to fully structured, carefully crafted songs, he hasn’t lost the clever wordplay that permeated his come-up.

It’s only fitting, then, that his debut track is an exercise in top-tier wordplay alongside a master of the form. Raven and Elzhi trade verses that are brimming with quotables like “Raising the bar like it’s my only daughter” and “I’m flyer than aeronautical engineering.” But the track is actually grounded by feelings of inspiration and hope, thanks in part to Shyne The Goddess’ powerful hook and Nottz’s crunchy, uplifting production. 

“Rainin’” is a powerful cut, and it signifies a bright future for Donnie Raven. The single is available now for stream and download through all major DSPs, and can be purchased for Instant Grat off the iTunes’ pre-order of for 'Livelihood.' The six track EP, which is primarily produced by Nottz, is set to drop Thursday, Sept 27.

Rainin' (feat. Elzhi) [prod. by Nottz]

Lead single off Skyzoo's upcoming album 'A Dream Deferred' out Oct. 2nd on The Faculty/Duck Down Music Inc.

"The idea behind Jansport Strings is not based on it being literal, but more so in the figurative sense. As a kid in NY, the strings on your Jansport bag were a sign of power and presence. Kids would steal the strings off of each other's bags and burn the tips to prevent getting robbed of them once they got them. The song is a 3 minute auto-bio of me as a kid in Brooklyn and seeing more than my friends and I had bargained for. In essence, my Jansport strings tied it all together, seeing what we all saw and what it made us. The ending is a clip from Video Music Box, the legendary NYC video show run by DJ Ralph McDaniels. This episode in particular was the debut of Chi-Ali's 'Age Ain't Nothin But A Number'. Seeing that video that day on this episode of VMB made me start rhyming. This clip was literally the moment that changed my life." -Skyzoo

From the album "Soul On Ice 2" smarturl.it/SoulOnIce2

Today, legendary West Coast rapper Ras Kass releases a new single, “Guns N Roses” feat. Styles P and Lil Fame, and unveils the release date July 26 for his next LP, Soul on Ice 2. “Guns N Roses” finds Ras wrecking a dusty psychedelic flip with M.O.P and Styles P. It’s a classic four alarm, bring-the-big-guns assault; a tunnel banger for the second decade of the 21st Century.

With Soul on Ice 2, Ras Kass exposes uncomfortable truths about American culture in a venomous and fearlessly creative follow up to his debut LP Soul on Ice, which was released via Priority Records nearly a quarter century ago. This time around, Ras is accompanied by a hall of fame lineup of rappers and producers including Diamond D, Pete Rock, Snoop Dogg, Immortal Technique, Justice League,  Cee-Lo Green, DJ Green Lantern, Everlast, Styles P and M.O.P.
