2025 turned out to be a major year for Ray Vaughn. In April, the Top Dawg Entertainment artist delivered his long awaited debut mixtape, The Good The Bad The Dollar Menu. The project included guest spots from Jay Rock, Isaiah Rashad, and LaRussell, along with several others. After that release, Ray Vaughn continued to stay active by dropping a string of singles throughout the rest of the year, such as "Hoe Era," "Golden Eye," and more. Now, the Long Beach rapper looks ready to kick off 2026 with momentum, recently linking up with AZ Chike for a new track titled "Hit And Run." The record leans into bold and explicit themes about quick encounters, and it arrives as his first release of the year.
