RELAYE

Juggling mainstream and underground aesthetics through eclectic  instrumentation and fastidious flows, Relaye has honed his talents to  deliver a genre-bending brand of Rap. Born Isaac Lucas in Lawrence, KS -  raised in Lacey, WA – Relaye’s musical upbringing primarily consisted  of Reggae and Ragtime, sparking a curiosity in composing, beat making,  and freestyling on the school bus. His knack for writing raps influenced  a move to Los Angeles, where he pursued a degree in music business at  USC and spent his free time shredding unworthy talent on the basketball  court (he allegedly shut out NBA scoring champion James Harden in a  pick-up game). It wasn’t until after graduation that Relaye decided to  pursue music professionally, signing his first record with independent  imprint Blue Elan Records.

Fast forward five years and it’s likely  you’ve heard Relaye’s music, whether you know it or not. His work has  been featured in hundreds of films and TV shows, with his most recent  single, “Long Time Coming,” being placed in the critically acclaimed  video game MLB: The Show 2021. Relaye’s upcoming LP, Green Shoots, is a  masterclass in stylistic versatility and artistic precision, exploring  themes both profane and profound about love, confidence, and not taking  life too seriously.
