Critical Praise for Ralo:
“With “My Brothers,” Ralo shows the full range of his improvements since his last project, displaying a new mastery of his own flow that should be enough evidence of his potential star power.” – Noisey
The Single:
Fine-tuning his melodic and empathetic approach to trap music for the past three years, Ralo earned the respect and admiration of some of Atlanta’s most notable names. Teaming up with kindred spirit Young Thug for an inspirational trap power ballad, Ralo shares “See The Light (Pt. 2).” Good friends and frequent collaborators, Thug brings out the best performance from Ralo, as Ralo’s cadences mesh seamlessly with Thug’s catchy melody. Premiered by HYPEBEAST, “See The Light (Pt. 2)” finds the rappers digging deep into their personal lives, with Thug emotionally recounting his grandfather’s battle with cancer, and Ralo’s insistence that riches can’t buy happiness: “Just because I have money that shit don’t wash away my problems.” “See The Light (Pt. 2)” is the latest single from Diary of the Streets 3, Ralo’s upcoming mixtape, following XXL-premiered “Dream Last Night,” which boasts a guest spot from YFN Lucci, the Youngboy Never Broke Again-featuring, FADER-premiered “Rain Storm,” “Die Real,” a Complex-premiered track featuring Young Dolph and Trouble.
A disciple of Gucci Mane and a very influential figure in his own right, Ralo puts on for the ATL streets with his emotional and inspirational trap music. he follow-up to Diary of the Streets and Diary of the Streets 2, each of which considerably raised Ralo’s national profile, Diary of the Streets 3 is an empathetic and thoughtful piece of work that paints a detailed picture of Ralo’s life as a kingpin, a devout Muslim, and a father. Growing as a rhymer with every track, the project is a lyrical level-up for the young emcee, reveling in slice-of-life autobiographical details, boisterous flexes, and unique punchlines. Featuring appearances from Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Young Dolph, Boosie Badazz, YFN Lucci, Hoodrich Pablo Juan, Trouble, Lil Baby, Philthy Rich, Key Glock, Jay Fizzle, and more, and with production from the likes of Zaytoven, Cassius Jay, and Twysted Genius, Diary of the Streets 3 arrives on February 9th.

Ralo Background
Ralo’s’ music is a combination of ingenuity and power. He has worked with acts such as Gucci Mane, Future, Shawty Lo, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, Jefé (Shy Glizzy), and Young Scooter. This experience has given Ralo the opportunity to prove to his fans that he has what it takes to surpass some of the more popular mainstream and independent artists out today. His most recent project, Famerican Gangster 2, a follow up to 2016’s accomplished Diary of the Streets II, came out on February 12th.
Born and raised in The Bluff, a notoriously dangerous neighborhood in West Atlanta recently featured in the film Snow On the Bluff, Ralo Laflare (neé Terrell Davis) provided for his family at a young age, selling CDs and DVDs on the streets while honing his rap skills. Unfortunately, his youthful indiscretions caused him to spend much of his young life in and out of jail. After emerging from prison for the final time in 2015, Ralo found Islam, and he dedicated his life to making the streets a safer place through his music. After gaining notoriety in the Atlanta trap scene working with artists such as Future and Young Scooter, Ralo founded #Famerican, a music movement and community foundation under his direction. Signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 Eskimo Records, Ralo Laflare represents a more empathetic take on trap music, balancing street tales with a deep sense of morality.
