He’s the mastermind behind DV4L (DvrkVybez 4 Life), a “Dark family” collective that evolved from T.G.O, embodying his avant-garde philosophy.

The Great Raw shatters genre boundaries, melding hip-hop’s swagger with the raw power of heavy metal and punk, all while threading through the rebellious spirit of Nü metal and Rap Metal. With a sound as gritty as trap metal 2.0, The Great Raw intertwines metal’s ferocity with trap’s rhythm and rap’s poetry. More than a musician, he’s a prodigious songwriter and producer, crafting hits like: “Isleptwiththedaughtersovlilith” “Not The End Ov The World” “B1gtiddygothshell” “Devil Inside” “Hxly Grail” …and countless others, proving that “Art” is at the heart of every true “Artist.” Beyond the stage, The Great Raw’s life is a testament to resilience.
