About Royce Ripken

If you remember when rap was actually rap — mixtapes, DVDs, freestyle cyphers, battle rap, punchlines that made you rewind — that's where I came from.I started writing around 2003, rapping over whatever was on the radio, sharpening everything: flow, delivery, wordplay, metaphors, the whole thing. Dipset was running New York. G-Unit was everywhere. D-Block, Ruff Ryders — that whole era was just on. That's what shaped me.Mase. Big L. Cam'ron. That Harlem lineage is in my DNA as a rapper. Charisma, punchlines, hooks that stick, bars that actually mean something on two or three levels at once. That's the bar I set for myself.Around 2006 I started producing under the name ThisBeatIzBananaz. By 2008 I linked with my brother NortheastBeast and we built Rawheart Waymakerz Music Group© together — been moving ever since.Been at this so long that the catalog runs deep — more projects, features, collabs, and records than I can even keep track of at this point.The music pulls from everything — sports, anime, wrestling, movies, video games, 90s and 2000s culture, but most importantly, my life and experiences. It's not a gimmick, it's just me.Everything I put out goes directly to the people who actually want it — no middleman, no waiting on somebody else's timeline. That's the whole point of being here.I also built a small creative community called Deckcadence52 — The Vault.If you're cut from that 90s/2000s cloth creatively, you already know what time it is. 🫡
