Hip-hop artist Ray Gibbz has dropped his latest track, “If I Ruled,” and I am already vibing to it. Ray is a hip-hop producer, songwriter, and solo rapper from Los Angeles, now based in San Diego. But music wasn’t always his full-time calling. It was only after the age of 32, when he left his property management career to pursue music full-time, that he began his journey as an independent artist. With no formal education in music, he writes, records, and produces his own music. Nas has been his biggest influence, and this track feels like a dedication to him.
“Ray Gibbz Lets His Dreams Do the Talking, One Verse at a Time.”
Inspired by Nas’ “If I Ruled the World,” this track’s central message is to imagine a better world and ask for what could change if the power to shape society were in different hands. Ray keeps things simple with songwriting that focuses on reflection and ideas rather than flashy lyricism. The production is a blend of classic hip-hop, with a touch of modern sound, paired with the catchy vocal delivery of Gibbz. Overall, it’s a perfect tribute to the legend of the game, but also a message that Ray Gibbz has arrived to make his own space in this world of hip-hop. I wouldn’t want you to miss this one for sure!
