Underrated: Ras Kass

<p>Historically, the West Coast has produced some of the most game changing music in hip-hop. <strong>N.W.A.</strong> comes to mind as being one of the first major acts that crossed over but the Left Coast has also given us one of the most underrated lyricists in hip-hop, <strong>Ras Kass</strong>. Hailing from Carson, California, just south of downtown Los Angeles, the waterproof MC made his recording debut in 1996 on Priority Records with <em><strong>Soul On Ice</strong></em>. He also contributed a memorable track, &ldquo;<strong>Miami Life</strong>,&rdquo; to <em><strong>The Substitute</strong> </em>soundtrack in 1996 as well.</p>
