In this episode, we sit down with Dray-10, the dynamic lyricist hailing from Killeen, Texas and shaped by the streets of Toledo, Ohio. From his early days with Atlanta’s The Undergrads to winning the 2016 iStandard and spitting fire on the XXL Cypher, Dray-10 has carved a path all his own.

Known as “Poseidon” for his fluid, ever-evolving flow, Dray-10 blends the introspection of J. Cole, the storytelling of Common, the smooth delivery of Drake, and the poetic finesse of Wale. His signature style—Reality Rap—dives deep into real-life struggles, personal growth, and raw truth.

We explore his journey through music, his passion for reinvention, and how he's used his pen beyond the mic, crafting pieces for major brands like AT&T’s Black History Month tribute. With over a decade in the game, Dray-10 is more than a rapper—he’s a storyteller, a creative force, and a refreshing voice in modern hip-hop.

🎧 Tune in for an inspiring conversation about artistry, authenticity, and evolution in the rap game.
