The weight of the journey and the thrill of success: you can hear it in every bar and every breath of Rayoe’s music. Born in West Africa, he found his calling in the music industry at a young age. Often frequent between Ghana and New York, he was exposed to hip hop in different cultural environments that would later add to his credibility and style as a rapper. Hustling and promoting his music independently, Rayoe eventually caught a federal narcotics seizure case in which he would be fully acquitted a year later by a Brooklyn jury. Just like many rappers who have had criminal charges brought against them in their career, the prosecution tried to use his lyrics as evidence against him. When their gambit fell apart with his acquittal, they led a motion to see him deported, temporarily landing him in a Texas jail before he once again beat the case, walking out undefeated, a free man. What appeared to be his downfall was reversed into an opportunity to elevate his career. Now based in Los Angeles, he gives fans a plethora of music inspired by everything he’s gone through. A genuine story about the cold truth of the proclaimed Land of the Free.
