Windy City Wordsmith Ray Swoope is back in the lab with fellow Black Talonz member & long-time collaborator, Ohio emcee/producer Lord Hakim, for his new single Ray Fillet. Lord Hakim's fusion of horns, guitar riffs and 808s playout like a Blaxploitation theme song on steroids, giving Ray Swoope's head nodding cadence and rapid fire rhyme flow the perfect soundscape to introduce the world to his braggadocious alter ego the infamous Ray Fillet.   
"A murderous verbalist, like a bird, up when the herb is lit/Herbs can get burned by the words and verbs I choose to murder with"

Ray Swoope is a Chicago wordsmith and self-described "scholar with the knowledge of God, who be on street sh!@". As a born and raised resident of one of the Southside of Chicago's most notorious areas, "The Wild Hundreds", Ray Swoope gives the listener a rapid fire rhyme laced survivors guide to Chicago on track. His style of vivid storytelling, as well as his inapt ability to connect with the listener while expressing his view of life's triumphs and tragedies, is reminiscent of such prolific rhyme writers as Nas, Raekwon, Jadakiss, or even Ghostface. “Hard work pays off, fortune favors the bold. Loyalty is everything, and if you want something, you believe in yourself and hustle for it. Don't be a savage in the pursuit of happiness and if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Ray Swoope
