Ray Vaughn releases ‘CEMETERY lanterns,’ an introspective new single leading up to his debut EP, ‘The Good, The Bad & The Dollar Menu.’
With The Good, The Bad & The Dollar Menu on the horizon, Ray Vaughn delivers a compelling new single, “CEMETERY lanterns,” out now via Top Dawg Entertainment. Produced by Rayo and Kyu Steed, the track deepens Vaughn’s reputation for hard-hitting lyricism and immersive storytelling.
“CEMETERY lanterns” speaks to the internal struggle of growing up in tough environments. Vaughn explains:
“Every day, people make choices that lead them down the wrong path, and too often, those stories end the same way. This song is for them.”
Vaughn has been on an undeniable rise, performing at Ken & Friends and Free Lunch in LA for Juneteenth, while his track “Blasphemy” was featured in the #1 film One of Them Days. His rap battle with Joey Bada$$ and his recent collaborations—Isaiah Rashad on “EAST CHATT,” Pusha T on “Problems,” and NLE Choppa on “FNBM”—have showcased his dynamic range.
With sharp wordplay, infectious energy, and an EP that promises to blend personal experiences with witty storytelling, Vaughn is carving out his lane.
