Only The Dopest Rhymes Blog

"Raphael is unique. We only grade rappers on their rapping skills but he happens to play instruments, produce and sing. As far as rapping, he has elite shit. His delivery is aggressive but relaxed. Full of wordplay and a wide variety of rap styles to deliver it in."

Music Review Journal writes:

"Raphael's voice is full of power and emotion. One of the strongest voices we've heard. He powered through 90s R&B classics with relative ease. We cant wait to hear his own original material released and on the radio"
