Biography:

Armed with a full arsenal of potent lyrics, and a rhyme flow as fast-paced as it is uncompromisingly hard-hitting, emcee and producer Rayn represents a rare and dying breed in the Hip-Hop community – the conscious lyricist. In a music scene overrun by commercialism, conformism, and illusion, this native New Yorker boldly chooses to harness the more lasting powers of truth, individualism, and social awareness when expressing herself as an artist. Channeling the energy of her inner passions, frustrations and motivations into her songwriting, Rayn delivers music with real and organic substance while exhibiting true verbal finesse.

Press:

“John Forté had been looking for inspiration to finish up a new album. Unfortunately, along came the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf. Rather than let the gushing go on without action (sorry BP), Forté wrote a rap called "Oil on the Shore," put it on Soundcloud, and is asking the Internet to add the second verse. So far, so good. The track has a frantic beat and keyboard loop. Forté throws out lines like "black fish" and "six million ways to die." Sounds about right. "I left the second verse open," Forté says. "There's room to breathe. There's room to be creative. There's room to be heard. "I encourage artists to download the track, write to it, record it and feel that they are included." The Internet community is answering the call. Rappers, amateur and professional, can fill in 16 open bars of the song. Zscribe has added his two cents. So has AcidRayn.”

“Two weeks ago, I posted about the GangStarrGirl.com x Roc4Life.com "Roc Your 16 Bars" contest where we were looking for femcees to come out and show us what they got. The winner gets an outfit courtesy Rocawear (up to a $100 value) and a feature on Roc4life.com. The purpose of this contest is to find talent where I know it exists. I want the ladies to come out and show these dudes how we can get down. You still have time to submit as I've extended the submission window another week but in the meantime, check out Acid Rayne, repping Brooklyn. Make sure y'all show her some love on her MySpace and stay tuned throughout next week for more videos. The winner will be announced at the end of the month.”
