http://odeo. com/episodes/23635644-Breakdown-FM-Interview-w-Oakland-Rapper-Ras-Ceyon

We caught up with Oakland rapper Ras Ceylon and talked to him about his new album 'Scientific Non Fiction'. It's his second album and it looks to be a monster.
Among the stand out tracks are cuts he did with Stic Man of dead prez called 'Better Be Ready', 'The Damage' featuring Tragedy Khadafi and 'Many Levels' featuring Bay Area icons Askari X and Taje of Souls of Mischief.


The album is a masterpiece full of socially conscious songs that keep you uplifted and in conversation without being preachy. There is nothing trite about Ras Ceylon and his music. He's a man of the people who wants us all to advance. His album takes bold steps and will not disappoint.


As for our interview, we started off talking to Ras Ceylon about his background which Sri Lankan and how that culture is often overlooked and misunderstood. We talked to him about him embracing the Rastafarian religion and how it influenced his music.
We also built with Ras about his revolutionary take on politics and why he found it important to hook up with people like Chairman Fred Hampton Jr of the POCC and have him featured on the intro of this album.


Ras is a force to be wreckon with in the years to come. And for those who feel like Hip Hop has lost its sense of adventure and commitment to politics, Ras Ceylon puts those nagging doubts to rest.
