Raven Sorvino

Last week Raven Sorvino popped up in our Quick5 interview series, on the same day we premiered a new banger from the lady rapper called “Ice Cream.” If that wasn’t enough to peak your interest in the rising rapper, we’re back this week with an interesting real life story from Raven. While she was chilling at our offices, she happened to relay the story of the one time she worked as a pimp, basically. When she was on her grind out in L.A., she came in contact with an escort service which she started working for simply because of the $$$$. She eventually went into business with the girl who introduced her to the service.”So we started a business together, we got an apartment first and used that as the office. We got the girls, took his girls, got a couple new ones. I got a couple of drivers, and we had the girls go out on escort service. We took their money and we paid ’em a fee. The driver would take ’em to the door, make sure everything was okay with the dude, he would collect the money first, then the girl would go in. The girl would never touch the money, he would bring it straight back to us and we pay her.” The situation got “kinda sticky” though, and Raven eventually pulled out.

Raven Sorvino is on her come up grind these days, and she’s about to drop off her fourth project. We recently had the California native (by way of Houston) visit the HNHH offices and sit down for a Quick5 interview on our ever handy fire escape. 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. Near the latter half of the interview, Raven talks about how she first got into rapping and the project she has coming up, Queen Of HeArtz: The Supreme.
