Ray Vaughn

Ray Vaughn is a West Coast rapper who signed to Top Dawg Entertainment at an interesting time. The West Coast label, known for breaking acts like Schoolboy Q and SZA, offered Vaughn a deal just as Kendrick Lamar, the company’s flagship artist, was leaving. Whether Vaughn will live up to Lamar's example, though, isn’t as important in the short-term as what the younger lyricist does bring to the table: deft verses wrapped around unfussy, accessible beats. Born Rayvon Welch in Long Beach, California, the young rapper balanced a burgeoning interest in hip-hop with an upbringing filled with highs (he was the valedictorian of his graduating class) and lows (a rocky relationship with his father that inspired his name change). Rejecting a full-ride scholarship from UCLA, he threw himself into music, self-releasing the EP Blame Summer in 2018 and the full-length Idle a year later. He gained a loyal following on social media by posting a dexterous freestyle every Friday -- something he’d been doing with friends and family since he was a teenager. After a few years out of the booth, Vaughn made a splashy re-entry into the game when TDE announced him as their newest signee. The 2021 EP Peer Pressure turned heads for its mix of engaging lyricism and mainstream flourishes like Auto-Tuned vocals and trap beats. Vaughn earned further notice with the 2022 singles “Mannequin” and “Dawg House” (the latter featuring Isaiah Rashad) and 2023’s “Sandcastles,” a collaboration with Ab-Soul. The single "Problems" with Pusha T -- his highest-profile collaboration yet -- appeared in 2024.
