About Foggieraw:
When Foggieraw raps, it’s like watching a film in your mind. The production acts as the score, while his words double as dialogue and narration. He’ll bring you into the moment with uncanny attention-to-detail and no shortage of twists and turns. It’s why the DMV-raised rapper, artist, performer, and poet has quietly entrenched himself in his own corner of the culture with tens of millions of streams and A-list support. Following his birth in the United States, he relocated to Ghana where he resided with his dad. At five-years-old, he returned to Prince George’s County, Maryland. While in college he began to freestyle with his roommates and initially gained traction with “30 and 10,” paving the way for his The Foggie Pound EP. Settling in Los Angeles, 2018 saw him unleash the independent debut LP, Fogtavious Vandross. It yielded the fan favorite “U Can’t Be My Baby,” reeling in 6 million streams and counting. In 2021, he served up The Foggie Pound 2 EP, boasting collaborations with Tobi Nwigwe and Royce Da 5’9”. Along the way, he incited critical acclaim. COMPLEX raved, “Foggieraw is making bright, colorful rap music with an effortless style,” while Uproxx highlighted his “unique” and “freewheeling” style. His peers also reacted as he earned co-signs courtesy of SZA, Anderson .Paak, Chance The Rapper, Tierra Whack, Jessie Reyez, Ari Lennox, and Lena Waithe, to name a few. His vision crystallized on the two-pack The Foggie Pound 3, garnering acclaim from Complex, Billboard, and OnesToWatch and generating millions of streams on “Psalm 62.” Now, he projects his vision in widescreen on a series of 2024 singles, beginning with “Destiny” and continuing with “Stay Awhile” [feat.
