Roga Raph is making a name for himself in New York hip-hop with enveloping samples, expansive lyrical skill, and a gritty perspective that champions perseverance. His new single "Better Place" embodies this very well with a cycling sample chop that boasts dusty percussion to ground his free-flowing delivery. The track deals with themes artistic ambitions and pressures, real-life obstacles on that path, and striving for a better situation every day. Roga handles the production on here by himself, and we can't wait to hear his talents develop. "Better Place" is a simple but powerful record that will give listeners the necessary fuel to put one foot in front of the other.

Quotable Lyrics from Better Place
Road was paved, filled with booby traps at every station,
Take no path, just brought them to a bad destination,
Escorted by the wrong guys,
They ask questions and make sure the true answer hides
With files from Bryson “Boom” Paul
