Ravin – Soulfood EP

Originally published on Alt Media

At a time when Aussie hip-hop has plenty of talented artists bringing new and interesting ideas to the genre, we have yet another arrival on the scene with Bankstown local Ravin.

Drawing on his experiences growing up in Sydney’s south-west and his Australian/Samoan heritage, Ravin weaves an intricate and powerful web. Soulfood is such an apt title for his release as the lyrics exude the passion and sense that this was truly nourishing endeavour for Ravin’s soul.

Combine this with the perfectly balanced and soulful sounds of producer Adam Bozzetto, and you have a formidable debut release that suggests a promising future on the horizon.
