Diss tracks and bouts of braggadocio are in the very DNA of rap music, and local emcees aren’t in short supply of reinventing them—just take a listen to Rjay Ty.
Produced by Like Animals, the Bawal Clan member’s freshly dropped track “Belly of The Beast” peeks at Rjay Ty’s rap persona as he visualizes a performance.
