Free Ep - Ry, Drive

So it seems not that long ago Ry rapped up his Life is Grande series which was one of the biggest projects that he has embarked on to date. However unlike most other artist who would either take a break or not release anything for a few months Ry is back at it agin. With the release of yet another free ep entitled "Drive". This quick turn around which is forever becoming faster and faster really shows his dedication to his art. 

The track Let Me Know sees Ry reflect on his personal life and how his music has at some point forced him to make sacrifices. "She's working as an actress, trying to find a job/ Im working as a rapper, trying to find a spot/ But we both got bills, lord know that we lost/ Went our own way, I guess fate had it wrong/". It is clear that Ry is one of the most under appreciated artists in the scene and it is only a matter of time before he earns the recognition he deserves. Go cop his new ep Drive here.

Well it seams that every one is dropping tracks at the moment. Friday saw Sydney artist Dutch drop his new track Best Day ft Skryptcha and The Tongue. On Sunday night we herd Horrorshow's latest track "Did You Hear" on Tripple J's New Music show. Just this morning we got to hear the first single from the Hilltop Hoods new album, Love It Ft Sia. Tonight we get the latest instalment of the Life Is Grande Series from Ry. Head over to his band camp now to check out his latest track Duffles and Jordans. I guess its safe to say that Life is Grande at the moment!

Ry - Life is Grande Series

We caught up with emcee Ry to find out more about his latest project, Life Is Grande. Make sure to check out all the tracks at the bottom of the post and his latest video "The Gift".

What is your life is grand project all about?

LIFE IS GRANDE (Pronounced 'Grand') started when I had a catalogue of songs built up that were all basically mixtape tracks. I honesty had enough for two mixtapes (about 25-35 tracks) so I figured why not have a weekly series, then also release a mixtape after that. I really like the phrase 'Life is Grande', and just think it has a dope kind of sound and energy about it and is generally positive, so I went with that. It's kinda funny, I did it purely to just 'purge' out tracks as quickly as I could and to begin working on new material, but as it went on I gained more and more fans from it. It's now at the same amount of downloads as 'The Wonderkid' had. I see fan's using the hashtag phrase #LIFEISGRANDE on twitter, quoting it back to me and all that. It's cool. 

Any gigs comming up?
My sound is really out there apparently. When I listen I don't hear it, but that's what everyone says. So to find similar acts for shows is a job in itself. I got plans of bringing out my homies from Byron Bay Peezo, Griff and The Hated down to gig around a bit, but it's all about numbers. I HAVE to build my fan base more, there's no running from it. Once that happens, I'm doing shows everywhere. Over and Underage. No excuses. I can't wait. #LIFEISGRANDE.

Do you have any plans after the project?

I have projects ready to drop after this, but I'm going to put them on hold for a bit and hopefully put out more videos to build my base up a bit more. The rate I work at is extremely quick, so I figured there's no point dropping mixtape after mixtape if there's not really a huge fan base as of yet to listen to it, so the videos right now work great and my videographer D. Hammond is always ready to work. More Fans, equals more shows, so that's the aim right now. Build, Build, Build.

  

Fozzy & VanC "Get it Together. featuring RY"

From North Queensland hails Fozzy and VanC two young and up comming hip hop artist who are set for big things in the future if their latest mix tape is anything to go by. With Vanc producing some killer beats and amazing lyrics this mix tape sets the stage for the future of this duo. Teaming up with some big and some not so big names this mix tape shows the wide range of talent the two have with even an acoustic track in there.

One of my personal favourats has to be "Get it Together. featuring RY" who has been on the scene for ages making his music from his home studio in melbourne. The combination of Fozzey VanC and Ry is one that see's some originalty that has been missing from the scene.

Check out  "Get it Together" below and his up the Fozzey and VanC website for your free download of the Fozzey & VanC mix tape, "Under Pressure"
