Ryan Oakes is a burgeoning force in the arena of alternative hip-hop, melding punchy, introspective lyrics with an energetic and melodic sound that resonates with a growing audience. While details about his early life and rise in the music scene are sparse, Oakes has certainly carved a niche for himself within the independent music world. His journey in music began to accelerate with a consistent output of tracks that showcase a blend of personal storytelling, motivational themes, and a determined, often defiant attitude towards life's challenges.

The recent slate of releases from Ryan Oakes, including singles such as "TEA TIME," "CHUCK TAYLORS," and "STILL NUMB," reveal an artist who is unafraid to grapple with the darker elements of the psyche while also reaching for anthemic highs. "2L8 UNDEAD" and "COME AROUND AND FIND OUT" further emphasize his penchant for stark, emotive themes and hooks that stick, allowing listeners to both reflect and resonate with the music. With each track, from the stirring "WAKE UP" to the reflective "DOWN," Oakes continues to build on a foundation of raw, relatable content, underscored by a soundscape that is both moody and invigorating, establishing himself as a talent to watch in the evolving narrative of modern hip-hop.
