“Prophet Rayza isn’t just reaching the standard; he’s setting a new one... ”
Scene Magazine
For ten years now Prophet Rayza has been a stronghold in the Australian Hip Hop scene perfecting his talents across the four elements of Hip Hop as an emcee, breakdancer, graffiti artist and beatboxer.
His passion for the art form stems from his first train trip from Brisbane to Melbourne at five years of age, when he first saw graffiti and told his mother when he grew up that he would do it too. At 16 he was exposed to Hip Hop through graffiti and soon after became a bboy (breakdancer). At this point in time, rhyming was second to break dancing and purely a hobby. As the years passed and he perfected his craft, his natural ability as a performer through break dancing led him to pick up a microphone and hypnotize the crowd in a whole new way. As anyone who has been to one of his live show can attest, Prophet Rayza is one of the most vibrant and energetic performers in the country.
With a passion and drive for perfection, Prophet Rayza draws from his musical inspiration the likes of Nas, Rakim, Ice T, KRS One and Wu Tang Clan. His performance past reads like a who’s who of Hip Hop having performed alongside such greats as Grandmaster Flash, De La Soul, DJ Q-Bert, Kool Keith, Lord Finesse, Grandmaster Roc Raida, Q-Unique, Planet Asia, Copywrite, MC Supernatural, Talib Kweli and local legends Def Wish Cast, Muph and Plutonic, Drapht and the list goes on...
In 2009 he released the “Spits and Pieces” mixtape which went on to move all of the limited 5,000 copies pressed within two months of its release (and over 800 downloads to date) and was Nominated for Oz Hip Hop Awards “Mixtape of the Year” 2009
His latest record “Six Books” (Born Fresh Records), sees him working with some of this countries and abroads most up and coming producers including 5th Seal from New York (production for Kool G Rap, KRS One, Immortal Technique, Joell Ortiz), Dats of The Optimen (production for Thiristin Howl III, The Optimen, Pure Product), Tommy Illfigga and DJ Butcher of Crate Creeps (production for Mantra, Thundamentals, Rakaa Iriscience of Dilated Peoples) and Cam Bluff of Vegas Aces (production for Spit syndicate, The Tongue, Raven), you can be sure to expect big things from one of Australian Hip Hops fastest rising stars.

This is quintessential Aussie hip hop. Maybe not as polished as other releases around, but it's got a good rhythm and flow.
