- Description
- Description
- Ra Scion is the rapper for Seattle hip-hop bands Common Market and Victor Shade. Since his self-released 2003 solo debut, he's worked with Sabzi (the producer from Blue Scholars) on the project Common Market and recently dropped a new release with producer MTK under the name Victor Shade. In this surprisingly personal interview, Ra talks about how Victor Shade was a name given to him by his (recently passed) brother-in-law who was into comics. How he was thrown out of high school in his native state of Kentucky for questioning authority through rap, and about his own struggles adjusting to the tension between his rap persona and being a family man with a day job.
