Music, Aliens, and More - Guest MC (Rapper) RA-Sool "The Alpha" McCray
Host Robert Van Arlen, welcomes Ra-Sool to the Craft. The Craft is sponsored by ADDY Focus. Robert and RA-Sool talk about meaning of business, music, numbers, UFO, "The Light" and much more. DOn't miss this entertianing and informative episode of the Craft live from the iconic Hotel Valley Ho. Rasool's Bio: Emerging out of Phoenix Arizona with a blend of sounds that stand in contrast to the dry desert climate, Rasool Shum Shu Din McCray, professionally known as “” is a rapper, producer and writer who has been adding rich textures to the music scene for over 5 years. With catchy melodies and groundbreaking vibes, the independent artist is becoming a formidable talent who follows his own rules in a market which yearns for artists to be their authentic self. His name Ra-Sool is a serious nod to how he sees himself. Roughly translated in Arabic as a messenger, prophet or an apostle, his music is delivering a new approach to how his audience engages. Working with all genres, he composes with influences of Hip-hop, R&B, Jazz, Soul, and even Rock and relentlessly pursues those musical narratives that flip the switch on how people interact with songs. Incorporating a variety of raw emotions and culture with his latest single is a testament to how he perceives the world. Living through the pandemic, his dreams were consumed with thoughts of surreal experiences and how many in society were connecting with thought processes that were previously alien to them. What transpired is a track that encompasses his musical persona. His song sparks the emotions that fuel our passion for life and the truth of one’s thoughts is the flip side of that coin. With UFO, the laidback spiritual vibe that embraces serious drum patterns, complemented by his word play, lyrical flow, and soulful essence, is a musical journey to behold and a new tale to dream on. Ra-Sool also recognizes that the producer and the artist may also need to live parallel lives in one space. Collaborating with artists and their original projects, he understands that he must separate his own ego from the process which has given him a rare insight into how to add value to his own music. Disassociating himself from the emotional roller coaster of writing a song has given him the ability to evaluate his own tracks from a distance, and now he can provide those exquisite touches that elevate a song to greatness. Organic, fluid, and original, RA-Sool is taking a step into the Music industry creating his own radiance as he crafts music that will touch your mind, body, and soul in every way imaginable. Whether it be searching the skies or the dreams of your mind, the journey will be one we can all enjoy. Our Sponsor: ADDY was clinically tested by the renowned Cleveland Clinic. The study’s results revealed a substantial increase in focus, concentration, and ability to stay on task and have mental clarity for over 5 hours after taking two capsules.

When someone says it can't be done, there are others that find a way. Tommy Vella developed with BOARD-CERTIFIED ADDICTION SPECIALIST DR. SAMUEL AMEN an active ingredient WGCP™ to create a plant-based stimulant called ADDY™. He took it one step further with clinical research and reviews. The WGCP™ clinical study was conducted by the Cleveland Clinic, rated one of America’s top hospitals by U.S. News and World Report. The Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit organization that does not endorse any particular product. They conduct clinical trials and report the facts and findings of the study. WGCP™ was clinically shown to increase focus and concentration for 5-6 hours with zero side effects. Addy™ is now on the market; it's safe, effective, not a drug, and does not require a prescription. The Craft Host, Robert Van Arlen, is a huge proponent of ADDY™ and is excited to share the journey of the most effective plant-based stimulant for focus.
