About • Biography
Dray Blcvk (pronounced Black) is a conscious lyrical rapper, beatmaker, producer, and sound engineer from Harare, Zimbabwe. Born Ryan Mudzingwa on October 22, 2003, he's part of a new generation of independent African artists - blending emotion, grit, and thought into sound that speaks for more than just himself. Music became his escape early. "Rap was therapy before I even knew the word," he says. What started as a quiet obsession grew into a self-taught journey - learning to write, produce, and engineer everything on his own. That personal, DIY spirit pulses through his work. In 2024, he released his debut mixtape, AIGO - As I Get Older, a project that captures the different stages of growth - mentally, emotionally, and musically. It's not polished for perfection - it's built to feel. The mixtape moves through themes of identity, pressure, disillusionment, and healing. At times bold, other times vulnerable, AIGO plays like an inner monologue recorded over minimalist, lo-fi textures.
