It definitely takes some guts to rap about ancient goddesses, mythology, and ancestry. Because let’s be honest, those aren’t exactly the topics dominating playlists right now. Yet Ray Gibbz leans fully into them on Royal Ruby, as if he’d been waiting centuries to tell this story to the world.
Ray Gibbz is a self-taught producer, songwriter, and rapper emerging from San Diego’s vibrant music scene. After tearing down an oppressive system in If I Ruled, he is now back with a myth-soaked space odyssey, Royal Ruby.
The production stays minimal and stripped back from start to finish, letting Gibbz’s lyricism do all the work and hook you in. And it delivers, because the room it creates feels less like beats and more like an orbit somewhere in deep space.
At its core is a story of a lost royal ruby crafted by three beautiful ancient goddesses. The lyrics are vivid, packed with celestial lore and ancestral weight. And that’s how it stands out—because he raps about it with total conviction. No irony, no hesitation.
If your ears call for something expansive while being extraordinary, Ray Gibbz’s Royal Ruby is the kind of track that will make you say, “is this allowed in hip-hop?”, but in the best possible way.
