Jamsterdam Radio recently got a hold of the Phoenix rapper in the midst of his busy schedule.
JR: Who are you?
RA: Ra-Sool!
JR: How long have you been an artist and what got you started in the rap game?
RA: I've been in for a minute bro and I started rapping in high school just for fun with friends then it turned serious after the first song and that was it.
JR: Who are your influences and which artists can you credit for your work?
RA: God number one but as of other artists I like Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, and Pac. I get inspired listening to classic timeless music, it doesn't matter what genre if it is blazin', I respect it.
JR: Which album is currently bangin' in your headphones?
RA: Man bro, right now I'm in my detox mode staying focus on me to be honest no disrespect, I'm just tuning my own fork.
JR: Which ingredient would you say defines Ra-Sool as unique?
RA: Well, I always say I'm a hybrid but real talk I would say "Making music with a voice that is actually saying something beyond me!"
JR: You produce, write, and rap your own music, which of these three talents are you most passionate about?
RA: All three really they are very important, But writing and rapping is my freedom of expression. I see myself writing and never stopping, even when I'm 80 I will be writing books and songs.
JR: Tell us a bit about the Phoenix rap scene, do you see many up and coming rap talents coming out of the Grand Canyon State?
RA: Well yeah AZ has many of artists and all of them are important. Right now voices are being heard but we are all still reaching. Until that number 1 spot on billboard has been reached for 5 weeks straight or more. I see #YoungAZ artist hungrier than ever.
JR: What can listeners expect in the future for Ra-Sool? New album? Tour?
RA: Yeah all of the above fa sho! But 'Stronger' video coming asap! And next single dropping soon and tour.
JR: Any Shout-outs?
RA: Well God number uno! Naomi what's good! My team Already! Let's work!
