We kick things off with a few facts about this lady. Raven says, “I think what’s interesting about me as an artist and it really reflects in my music, is the fact that I was raised by my father, and I was raised in Houston, Texas, and from there, when I turned about 14-years old I moved to California. So with having Houston and Leimart Park as my background, I feel like you definitely hear that in my music.” She goes on to list her main influences as, “Biggie Smalls, UGK, and Aaliyah,” as she discusses how each one has influenced her differently.
