Rav - At a glance
I don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it nonetheless
I’m just doing my best
Last few years been the fucking worst
Get it off my chest
Ruptured flesh
Burned bridges
And trusted threads
Turned vicious
If you wasn’t there and you wasn’t with us
Some of this right here might just sound malicious
Gods of this shit
Cost efficient
DIY shit
We ain’t lost the vision
EXO still here
So is our convictions
The gang stay dodging all opposition
Running parallel among an awkward
And an odd division of these narcissists
Whose job descriptions on the surface
Lend to come across as kindred
But we not
Bye bye!
Going back now to my life
Fewer burdens, more highlights
Multiple goals in eyesight
Crew is functioning quite fine
Zoot consumption on skydive
Dude got gumption and fried rice
While you got gum on your tie-dye
YES
Let me be clear
I don’t fuck with no TERFs
Fuck with no centrists
Fuck with no SWERFs
Don’t fuck with in-fighting
I walk with a purpose
I reallly be ‘bout it
No buzzing no words
Back in bag, R-AV that man
30-something, still sag my pants
Still do me - good ol’ obsolete
I don’t say “peak”, I say “that’s that jam”
Cool dude though, once you realize that
You gon feel my moves, you gon feel my tact
You gon say damn he’s chill like that
Took a few years to heal
I’m back

Biography
I was born in the USSR a few weeks before it dissolved, so I ended up spending much of my formative years in the post-Soviet Union slums, raised by a single, young mother. Since that corner of the world was suddenly no longer shielded from the outside world of arts and entertainment, my exposure to media consisted of a lot of weird Soviet cartoons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Sailor Moon.
In the mid 90s, before I was really exposed to Hip-Hop, I was obsessed with Michael Jackson when it came to music, but I mostly just wanted to be Spiderman or Donatello. I experienced my first dose of Hip-Hop in my pre-teens, having then left my previous environment and travelled the world a little; a friend lent me Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest on CD. My whole world was changed the moment I heard Electric Relaxation -I no longer wanted to be a comic book character, I wanted to be Q-Tip. And so I started rapping.
These days, I use music as a cathartic release. My goal isn’t to ascertain “universal truths”, to “heal” the world, nor is it to find people that relate. I’m not trying to understand or help anyone else; my approach is entirely selfish. I’m just trying to crack my own code the best I can. If me doing so somehow ends up helping someone else along the way, that’s dope as fuck.
