RALPH RAYMOND

Ralph Raymond’s evolution embodies resilience and reinvention. His narrative symbolizes the struggle against stagnation and the pursuit of artistic redemption, resonating effortlessly in Chicago’s diverse yet gritty music scene.

Born on Chicago’s Southside, Ralph Raymond embarked on his musical journey as a teen. After an attempt at college, he quickly came to realize that traditional education wasn’t helping shape his musical ambitions, so immediately he decided to drop out. However, five years fighting to break into Chicago’s 2010’s “Drill Rap” filled music scene, his social media and performance efforts, left him confronting burnout and despair, leading him to voluntarily step away from music entirely.

Despite the hiatus, Raymond’s itch for music lingered. In 2023 he showed up again, inspired by the new wave of alternative music and his new found love for playing drums. Admiring artists like Travis Barker, Dave Grohl, Kenny Hoopla, MGK and Jxdn, this newfound enthusiasm fueled his reinvention, blending rap roots with punk influences thus reshaping his entire artistic identity in all.

Within two years, Raymond released two EPs, four singles, three music videos and a vast amount of content on social media, catalyzing a rebranding journey and receiving admiration from seasoned Chicago artists. On top of these efforts, to kick off summer/2024, he organized a well attended release show for his new single/video “Endlessly” at renowned Chicago clothing boutique, Jugrnaut, where fellow Chicago heavyweight “Chance The Rapper” held his critically acclaimed “Acid Rap” project years prior.

As Raymond’s trajectory unfolds, his story promises continued growth and innovation, fueled by an unwavering determination to redeem himself after all the previous years of discouragement and self-conflict
