One of CSV‘s all-time favorite innovators and ammalgamators of sound goes by the moniker J Ralph. Quirky and eccentric, Ralph has always delivered tracks with a keen sense for rhythm and rhyme. He is famous for having no formal music training (can’t read or write music), but I find it hard to believe when he was able to compose a masterpiece for a 99-piece orchestra and conduct. Let’s just appreciate the talent that is J Ralph.

Hear a piece by NPR on his Ralphness.

From Lucky Number Slevin soundtrack “Kansas City Shuffle”
