Hailing from Presidio, Texas, 21-year-old “ryster” has an arsenal of talent at his disposal, melding the visceral sonics of Alternative-Rap and the murky textures of Soundcloud rap with a melodic pop sensibility allowing him to touch on any genre. His versatility and vulnerability has cultivated a modest but dedicated fanbase. Off a small wave of independent releases, “ryster” is already making noise, poised to break out of the alternative rap scene and establish a foothold in more commercial waters. Raw and uncompromising, “ryster” voices the dissent, dysfunction, and emotional dissatisfaction of an entire generation, adding a much-needed edge to the mainstream pop landscape.
