Top Dawg Entertainment has announced the latest addition to the roster: Long Beach artist, Ray Vaughn.
Hailing from a city that breeds rap legends is fitting for the talented MC, who's ready to embrace the challenge of running with the Top Dawgs. He makes that clear with a new three-track EP titled "Peer Pressure."
His charisma, versatility and skills with wordplay are on instant display from the moment "Not Allowed" starts to the end of "Tap."
The project is meant to serve as an appetizer for the full feast ahead, introducing the latest TDE emcee to the masses via his penmanship and flavor. Signed back in 2020, he fit right in, patiently committing himself to mastering his craft. With his TDE status now announced, Ray’s excited to let the music speak for itself.
“I’d love to tell you how I created the project, but to tell you the truth, to revisit the place of brutal honesty these songs came from is a chaotic process,” he admits, “Don’t take me too seriously, honestly, just learn to have fun.”
