| For those of you who don't know (or forgot). I started performing in 1998 with the group, "East L.A. Sabor Factory". In 2003, the band changed its name and became "Inner City Soul". In 2004 we released a 4 song ep, titled "Makin Change". It's the only ICS release do this date!
A limited number of copies have just been made available at two places. One place is www.cdbaby.com. You can order via the web and it will ship to you for free. This would be good for anyone not in Los Angeles.
The only retail store to carry the cd is Amoeba Music in Hollywood (Sunset & Ivar).
I have to admit, musically and lyrically this recording is some of my best work. If you don't already have a copy, GO GET IT! You won't be disappointed.
Thanks for reading!

| Neighborhood Fame Review |
| Tue, Feb. 26 2008 |
| In the opening track to his album, Neighborhood Fame, Ray Ricky Rivera says his music is for the working class, for the hustlers/for the gangsters and for the strugglers/this for the haters and the lovers, just because /when the beat drop, everybody turn it up, and that means Rivera is someone who wants to make a wide variety music for a wide range of listeners, whether it's a nice up-tempo dance track ready made for the clubs, something for a backyard party ("Still Livin'"), or something to listen to while consuming some liquid spirits ("Sunshine").
The guy definitely carries the trademarks of being a California rapper, where you have him talking about where he comes from and the people and community that made him who he is, but with the polish that perhaps comes from the shine of the Hollywood lights. In other words, it doesn't sound like a rough demo, the guy doesn't need a makeover for his rhymes and style of rhyming is ready to be taken to the masses. He creates songs with incredible hooks, and as a storyteller he is believable. I can see how the ladies will eat him up, while guys may be intimidated by how well Rivera does his thing, because he knows this is his thing. In a track like "Mami", where he tries to start up the engine Meters style, one can hear how he is on the fine line between someone who has the rawness of Soup or Slim Kid Tre but has the capabilities of being as accessible as will.i.am. Acknowledging his self-proclaimed Neighborhood Fame will have his home crowd reaching out to him, but they better hang on tight because it seems Rivera wants to be able to visit each and every neighborhood across the nation, for fine food, fine ladies, and the many other finer things in life.
(Neighborhood Fame is available from CDBaby.)

| Amoeba Home Grown Artist!!! |
| Thu, Sep. 20 2007 |
| I've been selected by the Amoeba Music Store in Hollywood as their "Home Grown Artist" for the month of September. What does it mean? Well, Amoeba is an independent record store (one of the few left) and they really believe in helping independent artists get exposure. In order to be considered for this, an employee has to recommend an artist. I was recommended by a manger that heard my stuff online and saw that I was distributed in the store. They've placed two quarter page ad's promoting my album. One is in the LA Weekly and also in the College Campus Circle. They have also placed me on their website. You can download an mp3 of the single, Mi Sonido and you can also order the album via the web. They have also gave me positioning in the store...meaning, my album is being displayed for shoppers to easily see.
A big big thank you to the Amoeba marketing staff. Every bit of support helps.
If you haven't picked up your copy of Neighborhood Fame, go get it at AMOEBA MUSIC HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!! |
