  • Hailing from Torrence, California, rising artist Rae Khalil made her debut on Sway's Universe premiering her single "Firefly" off her latest release, 'Girlfriend.' MCing for about four to five years now, Khalil deferred her school enrollment from South High to a musical theatre school where she then began to immerse herself more into Hip-Hop-crediting Wu-Tang Clan and Biggie for sparking her interest in the genre. When asked about the origin of her name, she explains that being someone who is very family oriented, she chose her middle name, Rae, and her brother's first name, Khalil- liking how the combination sounded and what it represents. Her closeness to her family is apparent when her mother Tyra, who is also a singer, joins the stage to give a beautiful rendition of "I Don't Wanna Lose You," by the great Phyllis Hyman.

      yasss i wanted to see her song and video....why did they pit the two girls together anyway? She should have been paired up with another dude...Like beanz and the grace jones looking chick ...either way she totally beat Big Mo whose video was awful ....yeah they messed up

      Bo only won cause she was running interference when Rae started freestyling...

    • @alexiwa12
      @alexiwa12 5 лет назад +14

      100% agree, Bo's interference was immature. It wasn't just interfering with Rae it was also frustrating for the viewers who wanted to see Rae perform without Bo's arms flailing around everywhere. Was cringe to watch Bo during that. Wanted to see Rae go further but stoked to see she hasn't stopped hustling since. Listening to her albums on repeat this week!

    Sorry but she easily could have won the show just based on talent alone. I felt that Chance was on his hotep shit even allowing Bo to skip the auditions. Either way I want to keep the focus on Rae. I'm a fan and she was the most unique on the show. D Smoke is dope but he's also a Kendrick clone in many respects. I get some vibes of Lauryn, Joey Bada$$, and a little Syd but I wouldnt say she's directly descended from those influences. Rae you've made a new fan in me and I look forward to listening to Girlfriend and whatever you put out in the future. Sway is one of the few people in the game whose opinion I truly value so it makes me so happy to see him in your corner. Although I knew from the second I saw you were getting some buzz that he would rep you no doubt. He is truly about the culture! Love you Sway and good luck to you Rae. From Oakland, peace

    What, cut! like everyone so bummed...you have range and they did a lit of cutting people more norm...so don't think that means critical success. You got it and all the energy we need. USE IT. Honestly Saxon had same issue...wanting to make something new and these judges lost site of the art with competition.
