R.A.E. aka “Real and Explicit”, (born on October 7, 1997), is an up and coming female rapper/singer/songwriter/ producer hailing from the DMV but currently resides in Maryland. R.A.E began her music career in the winter of 2016 recording her first song by doing a remix to the infamous single, “Panda”, by Desiigner and it was there where her career took off. Her debut single, “Flexxin”, when she was formally known as Blu Rae, was released December 2017 and became the new bop within the streets of the DMV. R.A.E. has performed at venues such as house parties, twice at Red Lounge, twice at Halftime Bar, two shows sponsored by Afton Shows (Eden Lounge and The Depot), and participating in her college’s annual cypher. While she was known as Blu Rae, she had been featured on HipHopOverload as the artist of the week. R.A.E. is currently working on building her clothing line, building her modeling portfolio, working on her first mixtape titled “It’s All In The Name,” and lastly, planning her first state to state tour for her first project for the summer. We are expecting big things from the 21 year old artist in the next few years coming.
