Much like a true “Ravenâ€, her soul is lustrous, and full of black plumage while her voice is a loud, harsh call to reality. Her freestyle skills seizes and devours voraciously every opponent.
With her musical and lyrical versatility, Mc Raven flows flawlessly between winning multiple national and international, male dominated world of Freestlyle battles, performing a commissioned poetic tribute for Latin Grammy Award winner Nestor Torres, inspiring young girls in schools and Juvenile Centers, performing at countless community based benefits and provoking her audience to tears at famed Open Mic venues
Combining obscure metaphors, distinct deliveries, and a wide variety of word plays, you’ll find her music interesting and refreshing. Cutting the edge of
Hip Hop with new innovative and creative ideas, creating a new twist on an old form of expression.
Her eclectic musical style is influenced by her fathers Greek music, her Grandpa’s love for Billy Holiday, Frank Sinatra, and the Big Bands, her mother’s love for Prince, Rod Stewart, Madonna, Queen, Stevie B, and her generation’s music Hip Hop - Slick Rick, Grand Master Flash, Run DMC, LL Cool J, and Public Enemy.
“The first time I saw a cipher (rhythm freestyle battle), I must’ve been 10 or 11, I was fascinated. It was love at first sight for me!†states Raven. With a lot of great lyricists for inspiration outside of her home, like Rakim, Nas, KRS 1,
Tu Pac, and Common, Mc Raven’s Freestyling has become the nature of her beast. “My need to perform never ceases!â€
“I’m an independent, classy female, dynamic, well accentuated, slightly risqué, musically dynamic, sparkling and well accessorized!â€
