Up and coming Long Island artist Raja is making his splash in 2016 with his most recent hit "Mannequin," featuring New York's Fabolous. The record did so well throughout New York's club scene that Raja felt it necessary to liberate the track with a set of visuals. Check the video out and let us know what you think! - This is 50
Hailing from Long Island, NY and being the product of a deeply focused family, Raja steps out into the light as one of the new prolific voices of Hip Hop culture. When you talk about the embodiment of the lavish life of international fashion you’re speaking Raja’s language. “Mannequin,” presented by Royalty Music Group and produced by Self Service, is based on that lifestyle and who better to push the envelope of musical fashion with other than the Young OG himself, Brooklyn’s own Fabolous.
While facing the death of his beloved father, Raja allowed that experience to burn in his soul to the point where nothing else is acceptable when he’s behind that microphone, except for being a brand spokesperson for what hard work, dedication and of course a keen-edged manifestation of what it means to truly be “Fly.” is. Having taken notes from the best of the best when it comes to every element of the genre from Jigga to Yeezy and Drake, Raja has already determined that he will not loose. “If you cant have fun while your making music then your not doing it for the right reasons,” says Raja. Peep the visual for “Mannequin” up top and step ya fashion game up.

Bio
Raja is a lyrical personification of the new hip-hop culture driven by multicultural and international artists. Raja was born and raised in Long Island, NY and comes from a very traditional, strict and successful family. They were totally against his pursuit of rap in fact they looked at it as a hobby and urged him to follow a path of education. After dropping out of college, Raja's father had a stroke and passed away. It is then that Raja realized he indeed needed to go hard. Although no stranger to professing his love for women and partying, he equally touches on breaking the stereotypes that society determines.
His musical palette ranges from Jay-Z & Tupac to Drake; while his lyrical content and sound is heavily impacted by Kanye West – lyrical, fashionable and fun. He has never been the normal kid; very full of energy, he says “normal is boring to me.” His message is simply: no one should be afraid to be themselves and go after their dreams or what they believe in.
In 2015 Raja snagged a feature in the XXL Magazine Rookie Edition and was the headline performer at the NYC Demiurge Awards - a new recognition system for NYC creative’s doing business and giving back to NYC. With a great year ending, Raja isn’t missing a beat in 2016. He is already on a national tour, performing in the hottest spots from coast to coast. From the ever-popular Supper Club in LA to NYC's hot spots. He has an EP due with a few industry heavy-hitters, including: The Young OG himself Fabolous plus Producers - Ron Brownz, James Fauntleroy and newly added Super Producers Self & Tree from Self Service and Scott Storch.
