RAS - RAS I (EP)
/From winning championships and ballin’ on y’all favs heads straight to the studio, Ras gives us a masterpiece of work with RAS I. If you’re new here, which you would have to be to not know who she is, Ras is a 22 year old female artist from our very own city (MKE) who has finished up playing Division 1 basketball just last Spring. This is the kicker though, just as she was a monster on the court, she’s delivering that same energy here with a new distinctive sound Milwaukee has yet to come across. Das talent, fr.
‘Thot breaker’ is the opener and most popular song on the EP. It has a very complex beat with many layers of sound. It’s also very catchy and easily deserves mad airplay. This is definitely a song that you can vibe to, it’s a feel-good/talking shit song. First track in, Ras is already setting the tone for the whole EP.
‘EXOTIC’ starts off slow, drawing us in with gentle, sad piano chords which eventually leads to heavy bass play. I couldn’t help but notice how close her style resembles the talented Future. For example, it instantly made me think of a song like codeine crazy because…listen to the song and you’ll completely understand what I mean by that. If you like Future, you’ll definitely love Ras but don’t get it twisted, she doesn’t need high profile comparisons to get notoriety—she already has that. From the visuals to RAS’s unwavering voice, you have no choice but to connect to the song. Like previously stated, it does have more of a sad undertone but it works, I like it a lot.
If I’m keeping it completely honest, dis the one. She really just set the bar—and she set it high as hell. Based off of this EP alone, Ras has already solidified her place in my every day music playlist (yours too).
Y’all know what’s next, STREAM THIS SHIT. She even got you on the visuals for EXOTIC and TRACY. Look at God. But wait, there’s more, you can even stream her ono two different streaming platforms. WOW. She’s really making this easy for y’all. Stream her on Apple Music and Spotify, alllll detttt. CHECK HER OUT.
