From the land of Hyphy where slaps are king and "going dumb" is encouraged, Berkeley, California's Rexx Life Raj stands out by making music for the brain & heart that's still pleasant to the ears. Raised by a god-fearing mother and a Black Panther father in the mecca of progressive politics, Raj's music perfectly articulates the beauty and struggle of being a young black adult in 2020. Raj transitions from hilarious anecdotes and clever bullshit to heart felt gems about relationships, the loss of his best friend Devin, and self-reflection, often making him both teacher and class clown on the same record. With his ability to shift seamlessly from rapping his ass off to singing his heart out, Rexx Life Raj has become one of Bay Area music’s most unique and critically acclaimed voices.
Raj's music has seen him garner high praise from legends such as E-40, Scott Storch and Pharrell, as well as modern superstars like Kehlani, Russ, G-Eazy, Lecrae, Mozzy and more. His releases have been featured prominently on the front pages of Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon as well as in popular Spotify playlists such as New Music Friday, Most Necessary, and Mellow Bars. He was even named as a 2019 rapper to watch by Complex. To date, Raj's music has accumulated over 120 Million plays across all platforms. Recently Raj's "Your Way" single featuring Kehlani was premiered as a World First on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show, and his Kenny Beats produced single "Moonwalk" is featured in the NBA 2k20 soundtrack, accumulating 5 million streams in just 2 months Raj's 2019 album release "Father Figure 3: Somewhere Out There" boasted features from Kehlani, Russ, Kenny Beats, Bas, and Jay Prince, and has accumulated 20 Million plays across all platforms since its release. The success of Raj's album saw him go on his first nationwide sold out headline tour.
