The Carolinas have been one of the more talked about regions in Hip Hop last year thanks to the mercurial rise of DaBaby. With that said, the Charlotte native wasn’t the only one putting on for the Carolinas, namely South Carolina newcomer PG RA. Newly signed to Asylum Records, the emerging emcee is ready to carve out his own niche on a global scale with his distinctive delivery and overall aesthetic.
“PG RA embodies the authenticity forging its way to the forefront of today’s Hip Hop,” says Wayne “Wayno” Clark, VP, A&R for Asylum Records. “While he’s very young, his unique experiences offer a new insight into what the Carolinas represent. He’s creating an exciting, new lane for the next generation of lyricists.”
Having released his debut project, CEO Vol.1 in 2018, PG RA went on a remarkable run unveiling his follow up EP Up & Boppin as well as 2019’s Blowing Candles. The latter went on to be heralded as one of the best independent releases of last year, receiving critical acclaim and organically hitting Apple Music’s Top 100 Album Chart. Today, the emerging emcee celebrates with the music video release to his autobiographical new single “For This,” helmed by Young Chang (Yo Gotti, Tory Lanez). Directed by Young Chang, PG Ra teamed up with fellow Carolina producer, 1st Class, in the new music video, “For This.”
