Ras Kass
Truth has a voice. And it sounds like Ras Kass. Born in Watts, raised in Carson, Ras Kass carved his legacy not with gimmicks, but with bars that cut deep and intellect that challenges the system. A scholar in the booth, he took his name from Ethiopian emperor Ras Kassa Mercha—signaling from day one that this was more than rap, it was a movement. He stormed the underground with a pen sharp enough to earn double Hip-Hop Quotables from The Source and Rhyme of the Month from Rap Pages—twice in just six months. By 1996, Soul on Ice dropped like a thesis, crowned by the iconic “Nature of the Threat”—a seven-minute history lesson that split speakers and sparked conversations. From the heights of Rasassination charting on the Billboard 200, to the chaos of label politics delaying Van Gogh and shelving Goldyn Chyld, Ras kept moving. Even incarceration couldn’t silence him. He formed HRSMN with Kurupt, Killah Priest, and Canibus, still writing, still building.
