sitting upon the throne of Hell
The Great Raw, a vanguard in the Trap Metal/Rage Core scene, celebrates his birthday on January 27th. He’s the mastermind behind DV4L (DvrkVybez 4 Life), a “Dark family” collective that evolved from T.G.O, embodying his avant-garde philosophy.
His music is an alchemy of metal-infused sonics and horrorcore, with a dash of witch house from the future. The Great Raw shatters genre boundaries, melding hip-hop’s swagger with the raw power of heavy metal and punk, all while threading through the rebellious spirit of Nü metal and Rap Metal.
With a sound as gritty as trap metal 2.0, The Great Raw intertwines metal’s ferocity with trap’s rhythm and rap’s poetry. More than a musician, he’s a prodigious songwriter and producer, crafting hits like:
“Isleptwiththedaughtersovlilith”
“Not the end ov the world ”
“bigtiddygothshell”
“Devil Inside”
“Hxly Grail”
…and countless others, proving that “Art” is at the heart of every true “Artist.”
Beyond the stage, The Great Raw’s life is a testament to resilience. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, he’s triumphed over homelessness thrice and spent his formative years in the vibrant Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia metroplex.
