Rapper Ras Kass was born John Austin in Watts, CA; a voracious reader throughout his youth, he adopted his stage name in honor of the African king Ras Rass. After releasing a pair of independent singles, Ras Kass emerged as one of the most highly regarded new rappers in some time, winning particular acclaim for his skills as a lyricist (in the space of six months, he twice earned Rap Pages magazine's Rhyme of the Month award as well as The Source's Hip Hop Quotable honor); his long-awaited debut LP, Soul on Ice, finally appeared on Priority Records in 1996. Rasassination followed two years later. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

one of the dopest mc's in the game, f**k the new age bullshit. ras kass delivers on tracks like "nature of the threat" teeny bopper f**ks these days dont know nothing about real hip hop. this is where its at. he may be another canibus in the light of not getting the play he deserved, but f**k that, true hip hop heads know who ras really is.
There are many industry political reasons why Ras didn't "blow", but his own actions also played a role... such as DWIs, prison time, beefing with Alchemist(really corny) etc. Ras still my dude and has some of the illest verses ever.

I can't believe that Dr. Dre signed Game and not Razz Kazz!!!
I guess Game held a little moe clout wit Dre than Kass, but I want to hear more from Kass. His rap skills are undeniable!! ! ! !
