Both underrated Justinkase and Ray Guevara made an impact on many with the anticipated LP "Epic and Rare". Although JustinKase and Ray Guevara were initially introduced through mutual friends the beginning of 2010 when listening to their debut LP "Epic and Rare" it seems as if they've been collaborating for years. However, the chemistry between producer Justin Taylor, 24 (Vallejo,CA) and rapper Raymond Carter, 22 (Fairfield,CA) can most likely be traced back to the similarities of their musical backgrounds. Both Justin and Ray discovered their undeniable talents at a young age. Justin wrote his first rap in the 6th grade for a school assembly and Ray began to record rhymes on an old boombox around the age of 12. Both began as members of now disbanded groups. Justin released two projects as a member of B.A.Y.(Bay Area Youngstas) as well as co-founding indie outlet Rapshack Records during his high school years and Ray was 1/4 of the Flatlinerz who released the sleeper radio hit and party anthem "TNA". Eventually Justin decided to shift from behind the mic to behind the boards serving as a producer for artists such as Moe Green, Cousin Fik and Erk The jerk to name a few. Both artists have also had their songs played on major radio stations in Northern California and have collectively been featured on 2Ktrillion Online Magazine, Streets Is Talking Radio, FCCFree Radio and KCRH 89.9 fm in support of their project "Epic and Rare". The release of the LP, which also includes features from some of the Bay Area's most promising young voices such as Smith Andrews, Damey and the late Mike Hu$tle, has shifted all eyes and ears on Justin Kase and Ray Guevara; two artists who are breaking down the sound barriers of Bay Area music.
