Jon Ramana (songs w Charles Hamilton & Joey Bada$$ coming)

[JonRamana]

Hey, lemme introduce myself. My name's Jon Ramana, I rap, my story is, in my opinion, fairly interesting. I won't spill it all as that's what my album is for, but I'd like to use this thread to build/stay in touch with a fanbase. I came to TR because I use to post here like 5/6/7 years ago or something, don't remember my name then. I think I uploaded some tracks way back. I've been homeless more years of my life than not. I have no biological family, I don't know my birthday, but I'm 24. Or 25, not sure. I have a 4th grade education, but taught myself off of libraries, book stores, etc.

All music I did was in local scenes, mostly in LA, I had a good buzz. I have met/worked with a good deal of people who made it, most notably Kendrick. I had a verse on his first tape back when he was KDot or whatever. I don't know him tho. I was signed on a demo deal (get money to produce a demo, and if they like it, they have the option to sign you) to a fairly well known label. My debut ep/album/whatever was recorded in 2006, I have 0 access to it since I was cut and don't have the tracks. Why I was cut is for various reasons, but my upcoming music will explain. Mostly due to being stupid, robbing another artist at gunpoint, getting shot myself, etc. I'll go into that later. It kills me that I don't have access to that first tape, it was fucking great. Had a feature from Glasses Malone and Jay Electronica, before he was famous and signed (met him in a shelter believe it or not).

I 100% believe I could have blown up, should have blown up. Fuck it tho. I have my debut written and ready for recording. I'm working with an agent who can get me on track. I have features lined up with Joey Bada$$, Res, and my friend Charles Hamilton. I am flying to NY in January to begin recording. Til then, i'm living at the Jireh House (a shelter) in Chicago. I am currently recording on a USB mic I bought at a Goodwill, on a Windows 2000 laptop at the shelter. I'll upload a track soon. All music I had ever made was on a jump drive i lost when a studio I was recording in (read: living in without the owner knowing) caught fire.

So, basically, hi. Feel free to ask me questions. I'd appreciate if you shared my music when I post it, if you fuck with it.

not really like i said, most everything was lost and shelters really aren't the best for recording haha
i have this, it's a cellphone recording of an unmastered song being played over speakers so it's shitty quality, but i should have real tracks available soon as i can get to a real studio, which should be soon.

check it out though, i recorded it yesterday so you all know im not just bullshitting, i cant post links but go to soundcloud DOT com/lehgflq/holy-water

Not bad from what I was able to get out of that, my laptop speakers suck, so it was hard for me to make out what you were saying(with that voice over/alteration)

[classthe_king]

You sound like a cheap Eminem rip off

You even rhymed ready for war with dead on the floor loooooooool

[PAINKILLƎR]

Grew up living a villain, corrupt sinning
Thick syrup, sipping
slur up enough venom
To stir up a buzz, spitting a verbal assault
Get in the middle, and I’ll kill any person involved
The perp has evolved
Certainly murking em all
Lurking in circles, ya you vultures were certain he’d fall
People saying I should be dead right?
And they dead right
But I beat the knife, bullets and lead pipes
Unkillable
Spilling them dumb syllables
Grill in my gums simmers
The general of young criminals
Thirsting for blood, back like never before
Bud, you could never be more ready
You ready for war?
Leaving em dead on the floor
The shelter sheltered forced
Through the ring of fire
Smelter developed the sword
I will envelope your cortex
Bring hell to your doors
Watch my vocal chords flex
They’re better than yours
No promotion
I’m moving in pro motion
I could do some relaxing but no, there’s no coasting
No boasting, showboating, just dope and so focused
I’m blowing your doors open and keeping the flow soaking
Like coke in your nose, overdosing on hard opiates
Give em heart attacks my drugs are so harmonious
Hear a line and you leave with a bar phobia
Curing alcoholics whenever I bark over ya
Ya get your optical fixed
The prodigal son back with a probable hit
No props on my shit? Fine ill drop it again
Cuz you know sleeping on my shit is a common offense
