Long Beach lyricist with a comedian's timing and a battle-rapper's density — the kind of writer who buries the best line three bars past where you stopped listening.

Ray Vaughn is a rapper from Long Beach, California, signed to Top Dawg Entertainment. He works in a dense, punchline-heavy style rooted in West Coast hip-hop, with an emphasis on wordplay, internal rhyme and shifts in cadence rather than hooks. He drew attention through mixtape and EP releases before joining the label's roster, and is often discussed alongside TDE's broader tradition of technically minded lyricists.
