Press:

"Highly recommending "Small Town Girl" by the boys at Rayko Pipes for your "Rap Sure!" day. These guys have consistently been great and make me miss doing a podcast for indie music like this. Rapping over a Journey lick...amazing.."
Todd Wachtel - jerseytoddshow.com - Facebook Post

“Jersey Shore swagger meets post-India Beatles musical experimentation in both Rayko/KRB’s releases. Both the EP, and full length CD skirt the line between rock and hip-hop, between pop and country. At times a darker Justin Timberlake, at times a younger Kid Rock, Rayko/KRB tells the tales of a once promising college boy gone to the dark side. ”
Henry Otero - BinaryStarMusic.com

"Rayko Pipes, I mean what more can I say? This guy's musical talents are refreshing. You want to nod your head? Then, listen to Rayko Pipes."
Shabaz DeBongs - The Writers

“ Can anyone say "song crush"? We strongly recommend you give this group a listen. Great sampling and great songs. Stop by the page to check out 'Small Town Girl' and other great songs. ”
Mike Wood, ARTISTSILOVE.COM

“Want to get your groove on? You won't be able to stay sitting once you pop Rayko/KRB in your ears. Great lyrics, fantastic beats, and humor mixed with damn good music define Rayko Pipes and his band, and make them a must-listen for anyone in podcasting.”
Christopher S. Penn - FinancialAidPodcast.com

“Rayko has taken the concept of hip hop, kicked it down the alley, beat it to a pulp, gave it a drink and let it back into the club with brand new respect.”
C.C. Chapman - AccidentHash.com

“Rayko Pipes; Reader's Choice Best Hip-Hop Vocalist 2007”
New Times Broward-Palm Beach

“Eminently funky, with beats that you'd be hard pushed not to move to, this is an album that has all the Rayko hallmarks, but here there is a stronger sense of bravado.”
