New Jersey has always been a place that has bred creatives and thought provokers,home to Lauryn Hill, Lauriana Mae, Faith Evans and Halsey, Ralphy River is noexception. Growing up Ralphy would tell his mother about how he had dreams ofbecoming a revolutionary; being able to take people from present to the past, changetheir hearts and minds. The forming of 070 was a sign to him; music would be the toolthat would allow him to become that revolutionary. Ralphy views music as its ownlanguage, conveying messages and thoughts that may otherwise go unheard. Hoping tonot only inspire, but change the way the world loves, he is the light that will bring hopeand love into what can be a dark place.
