Lil Ray is no stranger to hard work. He has had some experience within the music industry. His father, Big Ray, worked with a number of rap artists that include Chicago’s own, Do Or Die. Although he was exposed to the industry and the politics of it all, Lil Ray didn’t get bite by the rapping bug until he was 14-years-old. But when the desire hit, he saw refuge in it. He looked up to LL Cool J, P. Diddy, Jay-Z, Biggie and his idol, T.I. as inspirations.
Lil Ray writes his own music and loves the creative aspect of it all. Making “party” music is what he’s known for and in a very short time, have garnered a lot of respect for it. Coining himself as “undefinable,” Lil Ray would consider himself musically versatile. Having many career highlights already, he shared a song with a longtime friend and respected colleague, Twista, on their song “Bad Than A Mutha,” was a dream come true. Lil Ray headlined his first tour “Hella of Laughs & Hip Hop Tour” with comedian Kenny Howell and it became a huge success in 10 cities across America in venues seating approximately 4,000 people. All the love across the country feels great but it’s nothing like receiving the love from your hometown. That’s why it’s no surprise that Lil Ray is a mainstay on Chicago’s radio station WPWX Power 92 (92.3FM).
Lil Ray envisioned endorsements, clothing lines, and even owning his own record company to sign other up and coming artist in the future. The sky is truly the limit for Lil Ray who will one day take over the rap charts.
