When it comes to exposure for up and coming artists, Milwaukee County is an untouched land. Local rapper Jere Lipsey, better known as Ray Rizzy, is proving that big things can rise out of unknown places. In 2004, Ray Rizzy dropped his first album entitled "The Corner," which gave him credibility throughout the neighborhoods of the inner city. His first single, "I Hope You Know" featuring Too Short, not only gave him exposure, but earned him respect among rap and hip hop lovers city wide. In the midst of pushing his CD's, Ray Rizzy caught his first break by hooking up with Def Jam's super producers No ID and Extreme. With his distinctive sound and charm, Ray Rizzy is a force to be dealt with. In late 2004, Ray Rizzy had the opportunity to battle with DMX, one of the industry's finest.
He was also featured, battling live on BET, at the BET College Tour where he went up against the top underground artists across the country. Ray Rizzy has become living proof that skeptics can be made into believers. Ray Rizzy went back home after touring in order to put together a street album with the boys he grew up with. With this, came a production company called Hard Head Entertainment. During the summer, Ray Rizzy and his childhood friends released their first joint album entitled "Lost Diamonds." This particular album exposed listeners to the hard knock childhood they had growing up on 29th and Capital, located in Milwaukee, WI.
In the summer of 2005, he released his third album, "Heaven Sent." This album carried the same ghetto prophecizing over super produced beats. It revealed his life's experiences and gave listeners the opportunity to briefly live the life of Ray Rizzy. Back on the grind with a new CD entitled "Goonville," Ray Rizzy is enjoying the help of Chicago producers A Foe and M Dot, not to mention influences such as Young P and Pistol, of Lost Souls Records. The self proclaimed Ghetto Prophet, is catching the eye of A&R Executives and talent scouts. Although these are the facts, Ray Rizzy continues to stay focused on his ultimate goals. Winning the King of the City battle, where he went head to head with the top MCs of Milwaukee County, only gets him that much closer to those goals. Ray Rizzy is surely an artist to be watched.
If you didn't get the memo, Ray Rizzy is raw, he's raw as FUCK! This guy has been puttin' in a SERIOUS amount of work the passed few years and it's starting to pay off BIG TIME. Not only does he have Tony Neal, C.E.O. of the CoreDJ's riding with him on his mission to the top, but he's also got a deal in the works with a little label you might have heard, Konvict Muzik! It's safe to say Ray Rizzy signing with Konvict Muzik=a hell of a good look.
If you are STILL sleepin' on the WI movement you might wanna fuck with Ray Rizzy, his music will bitch slap ya back into reality! Fuck wit Ray Rizzy DAMNIT! I'm sure if you've been ridin' with my site for awhile you caught Ray Rizzy's SMASH SINGLE "I'm Jackin'." If you didn't, you are in luck! Below you can find the mp3 for that AND the music video. Also, you can catch a track Ray's featured in called "I Want It." You know damn well when Scalez & Ray Rizzy hook up for a song the shit's NUTS! I GUARANTEE in 2009 you will see A LOT of Ray Rizzy! DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS DUDE!!!!
