Scott Ramirez
Toronto
Whimsical mayhem. Sophisticated hardcore rap. Scott Ramirez is an emcee that’ll put you in a headlock and serenade you at the same time. Gallivanting over heavy drums, dusty samples with disciplinarian raps, this is a sound inspired from a 1995 aesthetic for the modern day.
“Ramirez’ sound will soothe any hip hop-loving fan like a smoothie made from an M.O.P. album and a Canadian flag that got tossed into a blender.” - Brandon Bastaldo, Quip Magazine
Along with the help of his DJ, Ryan de Rushe, Ramirez’s live shows are punctuated with a boisterous presence and tight crowd control, culminating in an emcee/DJ 1-2 combination. Having performed under the likes of J-Live, Mike Swift, Maybach Music's Stalley and the legendary Wu-Tang Clan's GZA and Masta Killa; and also with Toronto luminaries such as Alex Dimez, Perfeck Strangers and Angerville, Ramirez delivers a strong performance with a no-nonsense approach.
Complementing his musical endeavours, he is also a graphic designer by trade, having completed his undergrad with the University of Toronto. His portfolio includes work for the U of T Scarborough campus, Bell Media, Canadian Hip Hop legend/actor Maestro Fresh Wes, and political activist/writer Tarek Fatah. His heart lies in typography, visual design and illustration.
