Philadelphia, PA – At the age of 36, Ras King stands out as a rapper, songwriter, composer, and producer who exemplifies resilience and authenticity in his artistry. As a dedicated member of the Black Doge Family (BDF), a group focused on crypto investment in music, Ras King draws inspiration from his Rastafari spiritual practice to create songs that resonate with honesty and personal experiences.
From his initial projects to his latest releases, Ras King’s music narrates a powerful tale of survival, determination, spirituality, and love, reflecting an overall uplifting portrayal of success emerging from what is often labeled “the hood.” “Listeners should explore Ras King’s music because it conveys genuine truths drawn from my life,” he asserts.
Ras King has had the privilege of sharing stages with notable figures such as Jim Jones and reggae stars Chronixx, Iba Mahr, and Kabaka Pyramid. He has performed at significant events, including the Annual People’s Festival (Bob Marley Festival) in Delaware and the BET Mixer in New York. His work has also garnered attention in prominent publications like HipHop Since 1987 and Chris Brown’s Mechanical Dummy.
Despite encountering considerable obstacles, Ras King remains resolute. “One of the most significant challenges I’ve faced was aligning the ambitions of those around me toward a common goal,” he reflects. “Achieving success requires collective effort, yet everyone tends to have their individual dreams.” Furthermore, he acknowledges the difficulty of capturing attention in a crowded music landscape, stating, “I refused to resort to gimmicks; I believe in the integrity of music.”
Looking ahead, Ras King envisions a future filled with larger-scale musical creations and performances, aiming to solidify his status among both established and emerging artists. He aspires to mentor up-and-coming talents, support financial growth through various business ventures, and engage in philanthropic activities. “I have a passion for people and believe that a bit of common sense, discipline, and financial support can make a significant difference,” he emphasizes.
