Rave'n(IJM)
Hey, My name is Ian, AKA Rave'n.
This is a page containing all of my raps, available free, for streaming and downloading. I like to think of my raps as cognitive street style. I try to convey meaning in many of them, and attempt to do more than settle for the base of a rhyme. I search for sense, you could say.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
No history persay, I noticed some of my friends made raps, such as Mega G, AndyRoo, Bo J, and everyone at Axis and Allies, so I followed, and kind of developed my own style. I typically make at least 2 new raps a week, and I try to keep quality strong throughout.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not really, but occasionally I just start practicing these tunes, or writing new ones and whatnot randomly. I perform mainly from the comfort of my ergonomically correct keyboard and an old cheap computer mike.
Your musical influences
Im into virtually every style but country. Some influences would obviously be Eminem and I've always like Tupacs sound, but I like Linkin' Park as well, Beatles, Nelly, Matchbox 20, Good Charlotte, Green Day, 50 Cent, and Goldfinger.
What equipment do you use?
I just use Goldwave, my sound editing program, my PC, a mic, and some random beats. Im thinking of bringing guitar into my raps though, and I also play Clarinette, Saxophone, and Piano, so they might all end up being used to mix my own beats.
Anything else?
umm, nope. thanks anyway. I'm done. Can I go now? Please?
