Ray BLK Career

Music career

Ray began recording for her first releases while studying for her English degree. In 2015, Havisham's debut EP was released. It was influenced by Miss Havisham's story in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations that a girl who turns against men after being heartbroken. "I felt like Miss Havisham was like a lot of women around me," Ray said. Ray is a singer who performs on her own label and has chosen not to sign a record contract in order to maintain the rights to her music. Durt, Stormzy, Wretch 32, and SG Lewis were among her debut mini-albums released in 2016. "My Hood" is a song about her hometown of Catford. She wrote it at a time when she had just been robbed and felt she just wanted to escape and felt she had no intention to return.

At the 2016 MOBO Awards, she was nominated for Best Newcomer. Ray was announced as the winner of the BBC's Sound of 2017 on January 6th.

Ray BLK, the opening act for Nicki Wrld Tour, the American rapper Nicki Minaj's headlining tour, was released in 2019.

She dropped the single "MIA" starring American singer Kaash Paige in July 2021 and announced that her debut album Access Denied would be out on September 17th, 2021 through Island Records, later postponed to 1 October. The album attracted critical acclaim and was ranked as one of the best albums of 2021 by NME.

The brutal BBC bloodbath: Major dramas, an award-winning comedy and fan favourite quiz shows have all been axed - so which of your favourites have fallen victim to the cutthroat corporation?

The bloodbath's body count is similar to a Line Of Duty-style murder spree, with the BBC aiming to cut 100 hours of television shows this year. Not one genre has been left out, with the axe sweeping everything from drama to quiz shows to comedy. In the face of rising inflation and a two-year freeze to the cost of a TV licence, which provides the majority of the BBC's funding, the BBC is hoping to make £500 million in savings, making some of the BBC's more recent ruthless decisions.
