# Ric Dorrough

> I am Ric Dorrough, an independent hip hop artist creating music shaped by honest expression, personal reflection, and a willingness to speak plainly. My work moves through rap, reggae influence, and socially conscious themes, giving listeners a direct perspective on life, culture, and the issues that matter to me. I make music for people who value authenticity, strong opinions, and a voice that refuses to stay quiet.
