After spending 5 years in the Texas prison system, followed by 5 years in “the free world,” Texas hip hop artist Ray Sr. has plenty to say.
Ray Sr.'s debut album 5 In 5 Out, takes listeners on an emotional roller coaster. Reminiscent of the days when hip hop was made by the people, for the people, Ray Sr.'s unfiltered lyrics bring a refreshingly honest message to the table.
From classic Southern club bangers like Drop it to the Flo and That Southside Pen, which are sure to have everyone moving on the dance floor - to 5 In 5 Out, which gives a harsh and very unglamorous glimpse inside the Texas prison system - to an enticing ballad entitled Dear Jane, that is guaranteed to uplift and inspire any woman suffering from a broken heart - Ray Sr. covers all the bases and takes us back to a time when music was a reflection of life.
5 In 5 Out is a must have for hip hop fans, and with this eclectic mix of beats, lyrics, and genuine emotion - this is one album that may never leave your Ipod!
