  • C-Rayz Waltz - Ravipops (2003)

    Posted on Saturday December 27th, 2008 at 14:44 in underground hip-hop

    While he touches upon the same socially conscious topics labelmate Mr. Lif does, C-Rayz Walz comes from a refreshingly more personal and humble angle. Family, home life, and the day-to-day struggle are topics that show up on Ravipops, an album title ...

    Posted on Saturday December 27th, 2008 at 11:02 in underground hip-hop
