Biography
Roga Raph is a rapper/producer who was born in Newark, New Jersey and grew up in Mt. Kisco, New York. His conscious lyrics represent both sides of poverty with savvy wordplay, and his production style is strongly sample-based, but he excels behind the boards without the use of samples as well. Raph's influences include The Notorious B.I.G., Pete Rock, Nas, Black Moon, and Smif-N-Wessun, and he strives to incorporate an old school feel into all his work. In October, 2013, Raph's production on "How I Met Your Mother," a song by fellow 914 artist Stan Ipcus, was premiered on Mass Appeal and heard on Peter Rosenberg's Real Late show on Hot 97 consecutive weeks. He attended School of Visual Arts in Manhattan as an illustration major. His new project Visionary Shift is out now.
