2.12.2018

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 Video:

With an innate sense of songwriting and the respect of some of the best rappers in the game, ATL kingpin Ralo specializes in spiritual, violent, and melodic trap. Rocking with a black cat and rose petals on an upright piano, Ralo stunts in “Die Real,” his new video. Joined by King of Memphis Young Dolph and ATL mainstay Trouble, Ralo inhabits an eerie world of superstition and trippy double vision and storm cloud effects. Premiered over the weekend by WorldStarHipHop, “Die Real” is the first video from Diary of the Streets 3, Ralo’s new mixtape, which released last Friday.

The culmination of a three-year journey from prison to the pop charts, Ralo levels up as an emcee on Diary of the Streets 3, bending his helium-voiced flow around snapping snares, finding new melodies, and crafting memorably idiosyncratic punchlines. With production from the likes of Zaytoven, Cassius Jay, and Twysted Genius, 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. Featuring appearances from Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Young Dolph, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Boosie Badazz, YFN Lucci, Hoodrich Pablo Juan, Trouble, Lil Baby, Philthy Rich, Key Glock, Jay Fizzle, and more, the mixtape achieves a balance between boisterous flexes, menacing threats, and serious self-reflection from Ralo, who carries the weight of the project with his charisma. Released via EMPIRE, the mixtape is stacked with potential hits, such as the XXL-premiered “Dream Last Night,” which boasts a guest spot from YFN Lucci, and the Youngboy Never Broke Again-featuring, FADER-premiered “Rain Storm.”

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.
