HIP HOP IS BACK!!!!!! IM 47YO & IM POSITIVE THAT I CAN SPEAK FOR MY FELLOW OLD HEADS WHEN I SAY... THIS IS THE FEELING WE'VE BEEN MISSING FOR OVER 20YRS. THIS IS WHAT FUELS OUR PEOPLE AND CULTURE TO THRIVE WHILE CAPTIVE IN BABYLON!!!! RAY VAUGHN... I DOUBLE SALUTE YOU YOUNG BROTHA ✊🏿
I'm 55, and I haven't been this exciting about rap in a minute. Hopefully, all the mumble rap, pill popping, and getting with someone's baby mama is over and done with.
Crew. I’m in awe on how silenced this man’s words were. I feel I’m invested in hip hop and have not heard his music. I’m def a fan as well. Can’t wait for his success
Not to jump all the way out the window but this is why I feel like us ppl from older generations have had a problem with Drake flooding the market. The talent has always been there but homie was jumping on waves and smothering anyone trying to bubble. 2024 cleared the field so that these young guys and even the older lyricist can really get back to it. I hope it continues and Joey Bada$$ is nuts for going at the west but I love the competitive spirit back in hip hop.
I’m way east in Connecticut and the west is running ish right now. All I listen to is west coast. My favorite time since I’ve been listening to hip hop is right now. I’m loving this
When he said he still got his food stamp card. 😢 I wish you the utmost best Ray. He’s moved me, I’m tearing up 🥲. He’s the next big thing. 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️ if this is 3 yrs old where has he been??
West Coast deserves more than people finding artist on TH-cam. Check out all his shit and artist from the West we got real life talent that doesn't hit mainstream music because we don't play industry
I am a 57yr old West Coaster & I’m excited how 2024 ignited something within the culture. It is a proud feeling to see both the OG’s & the new generations connect over music. Considering the state of this side of the border, it is awesome to engage with all the regions. I enjoy your authenticity!
This channel will always be special simply for first introducing me to Ray Vaughn and having the most real reaction. I've watched a bunch more but keep coming back to this one. Pure raw talent really makes you feel something special
Bro this freestyle makes me emotional every time I hear it , and seeing you experience and express those same feelings.. THIS IS REAL RAP! GOOSEBUMPS!!!
That finish line bar was tuff too! Referring to the shoe store finish line and my soul inside of a box...shoe box and the soul of a shoe😮 and my favorite was when he said he was amped up over ex girlfriends he couldn't focus right😮 reference to a amplifier(music) and he couldn't focus right(focusrite) that's a company that designs and sells audio equipment for professional home studios 😮🔥💯
His story is crazy tooooo homeless with his baby girl after the mother passed …. Wishing this guy nothing but success… check out his bootleg kev interview ✅🔥💟
Check out LaRussell from the bay …. Another great talent super smart trying to show the kids a different future …. Rocks crocs so the kids don’t think they need them $200 sneakers ✅💟 keep up the great work crew 💯
Trust I get why you was so confused why he hasn't been more mainstream yet and all I can say is TDE takes their time cultivating its artists ... go look back at Kendrick discography and you will see he had crazy mixtapes and freestyles BEFORE he broke but back then it wasn't as easy to find as social media was in its early stages. Even Drake knew of Kendrick before he really broke mainstream (why he is on Buried Alive Intro on So Far Gone almost 2 years before he goes mainstream) because his buzz in LA was crazy despite many not fully knowing of him like TDE takes their time with their artists. SZA was a longtime songwriter for many before she finally was allowed to bloom into her solo career. It can be annoying at times but TDE does not miss when breaking the "stars". Ray Vaughn is the next up him and Doechii will be this generation Dot and SZA (I know she sings and Doechii raps), so long as no street shit gets him (knock on wood but I doubt it does) Ray Vaughn is a can't-miss rap superstar in waiting. I felt the same about Kendrick following "Section 80" and even Drake after "Comeback Season" (I missed out on Cole lol).
Yo Ray is killing it! Love this new rap energy we getting from the WEST. As a 90s kid, this is nice. That mumble stuff had me out of touch. Yo that Pop out tour introduced me to alot of WEST dudes I'm trying to hear more from. Thanks again Kendrick.
I didn't know either, made a fan out of me. "Top don't sign N* who mumble or rap like Dr Seuss" 🔥🔥🔥. OMG the bars just keep falling. I love how he is animated and acting. Top really picks spitters with great diction who can hit the ear correct.
You underestimated him when you said he better be saying something right before you played it 😂 yes definitely prayers to ALL LA and those in line of the wild fires 🙏🏽
Fire reaction! If you love this, the La Leakers go crazy for freestyles.. One of my other favorites is Royce and King Los.. promise you, you won’t be disappointed!!
Gang I told you watch this! Now u know what I meant! This is by far the best freestyle on LA leakers cos it’s bar after bar on that first freestyle literally
Yea and it's cool to admit it if yall had the game on lock right now we'd all give props. Shiii Chicago in the same boat. We don't have a dog in the race
“my cousin he a crip but they still blessed him with that PPP” is harder now that i know kenny on euphoria saying “suuu suuu suuu P P P “ was the piru hood call
He hasnt gotten the shine, because until last year the only thing that people pushed was shinny suit rap. K dot, vince staples, larussell, schoolboy and others dropped albums and disses that reset the hiphop trajectory
Ray is so underrated!!! But when you're under that TDE umbrella w/names like Dot, Q, Rock, Ab & then Sza...everyone else tends to get lost. Sza was writing hits before she popped too. Dot had so many fire mixtapes before anyone from mainstream knew him too. Ray also did a lemon pepper freestyle if I recall. 🤔 The man can spit!! TDE don't really miss when they grab up an artist.
Lies or rather I disagree. Let’s give TDE the respect it deserves! They polish and mold their artists and unlike many, give them room to be creative. God’s timing is perfect. Agree or disagree, folks in the industry and NY did hate on the West!! There is digital proof of it. Even more, real Hip Hop was being overshadowed by soft rappers, mumble, drill and melodic rap with no substance or bars. KENDRICK was necessary, the rap battle was necessary, a reset was necessary. Ray was out here but again, the industry was not ready for him. God’s timing is perfect. Y’all ARE READY NOW. Real Hip Hop and lyricism is back. No need to hate or compare them. Just enjoy.
Umm idk how any of what you said relates to my comment. Maybe it was for someone else. Where didn't i give TDE their credit? Even mentioned Dot/Sza stuff before they popped. Didnt mention the beef whatsoever so again, not sure what your comment correlates to. In fact, I agree w/most of it...just don't know how it's a relative response to mine. 🤔@miamac63
“Joey sit down bro!!” 💀🤣 that boy Ray is TUFF!!!!
Man TDE has been extremely calculated with their artists. Ray is a dawg
Money trees are starting to bear fruit.
I’m with a couple sergeants & lieutenants…
K Dot is on another level.
I'm so glad Vaughn is getting all this shine. Crazy that this freestyle was THREE YEARS AGO!
Crazy
just goes to show the time to shine will always come around!!
REALITY CHECKS IS HOW I PAY FOR MY MISTAKES 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
HIP HOP IS BACK!!!!!! IM 47YO & IM POSITIVE THAT I CAN SPEAK FOR MY FELLOW OLD HEADS WHEN I SAY... THIS IS THE FEELING WE'VE BEEN MISSING FOR OVER 20YRS. THIS IS WHAT FUELS OUR PEOPLE AND CULTURE TO THRIVE WHILE CAPTIVE IN BABYLON!!!! RAY VAUGHN... I DOUBLE SALUTE YOU YOUNG BROTHA ✊🏿
@@trentonbailey4907 as long as they can keep it rap, it’s really exciting!
I’m a young 49, yep! Agreed!
I’m 47 too and you are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!
I'm 55 and this is what has been missing in hip hop
I'm 55, and I haven't been this exciting about rap in a minute. Hopefully, all the mumble rap, pill popping, and getting with someone's baby mama is over and done with.
I’m 58 yrs old it’s been a long time since I’ve heard rap like this Wow!
Joey lowkey just threw up the alley oop for TDE. Thanks Joey 🤝😅😅😅
Raised by a “gun” it’s ironic cause my “pops” ain’t give me no advice !! That bar was crazyyyyy and missed by a lot of reactors 🔥🔥🔥
Crew. I’m in awe on how silenced this man’s words were. I feel I’m invested in hip hop and have not heard his music. I’m def a fan as well. Can’t wait for his success
Check out his album IDLE
Straight 🔥 🔥 Ray V. Is the business. TDE got those Sargents and Lieutenants!
I love how animated he is. The energy and he makes you feel what he’s rapping about
OMG!!! RAY VAUGHAN IS A BEAST!!!!!!! Now I gotta listen to everything he has !!! He SPITS BAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRSSSSSSS
This dude is ridiculous, haven’t heard anything like him. I feel bad for not finding dude earlier. He the one frfr
Now THIS is what ya call a FREESTYLE!
He rapping like his stomach is hugging his spine!!!!
HUNGRY
This is what we want! We’re tired of the talk about cars, money women! He’s talking his talk!
@@Kareyn2 Exactly!!! I hope he can hold on to that "starving" feeling to keep pushing out this kind of heat
Whats bonkers is... that was damn near effortless!
💯

Yass I never liked Drake! Hip Hop has been Reincarnated! Thank You Kendrick❤ 💯

@@monetcarty2970 Say THAT!
The Finish Line bar was crazy. “So until the Finish Line, or my soul (sole) inside of a box.
TDE got a roster frfr
This is top tier stuff! No contender!
Ray Vaughn is sooooo underrated yes he has plenty songs!!!! All fire!!!!
Vaughn album coming soon he pushed it back cause GNX shook everything up unexpectedly... He said it on IG
TDE got a secret weapon😈. They definitely whoopin feet💀.
"We grew but we didn't age" THAT'S THE BAR! 🥺 Sorry but that brought tears to my eyes.
Ray Vaughn straight out the LBC 🔥🔥
Ray Vaughan and King Los have my favorite LA Leakers freestyle
If you from LA, you hear him. LA deep with the underground rappers.
It's levels to this and I'm sure now we will hear more from Ray Vaughn with the exposure he's currently receiving 🥂
goosebumps every time dude and i’ve probably watched this 100 times now… he’s toooo fire. you should check out picking cherries one of his tracks… 🔥🔥
We on it
I’m way east in Connecticut and the west is running ish right now. All I listen to is west coast. My favorite time since I’ve been listening to hip hop is right now. I’m loving this

Im.hsppy i found him
Ray Vaughn lemon pepper is straight HEAT!!!!!!!!!!! Please check that out. It’s HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When he said he still got his food stamp card. 😢 I wish you the utmost best Ray. He’s moved me, I’m tearing up 🥲. He’s the next big thing. 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️ if this is 3 yrs old where has he been??
My point exactly!! Just waiting for his time
Way too amped up I couldn’t focusrite. Focusrite is a company that makes audio pre-amps for recording. Audio engineer bars!
I remember those day living in Watts by the alley, sleeping in a cold garage going to trade school. Shit different NOW 😂
New subscriber here 🙋🏾♀️ I literally got chills and emotional when Ray Vaughn went off on that Beanie Sigel beat 🖤🖤🖤🖤
