Ras (X)
Musician in Bronx, New York
Ras (X) is an Indie Artist, Producer, DJ & Podcast Host of Tha Ras (X) Zone…He was born in Manhattan & raised in the Bronx, NY. He started MC'ing & producing because of 2Pac, Nore's "Banned From TV" & Canibus. After hearing 2Pac's All Eyez On Me, he thought, I have to write sum lyrics. He would spend hours writing rhymes & imitating various rappers flows & lyrics. He is a huge fan of the mid '90s-early '00s hip hop sound and his music reflects that era.
