LOR: Student B Ray writes rap since 9th grade, family background is difficult, mother works as a motorbike taxi driver

LOR became more known to the public after participating in Rap Viet season 1. Then he continued to return to the competition in season 3, although he did not go far into the next round, he left an impression on the audience.

LOR was born in 2001 in Ho Chi Minh City, real name Nguyen Thanh Long, is a talented rapper in the Vietnamese Rap scene and is also a student at Ton Duc Thang University - Ho Chi Minh City. Since he was a 6th grader, he started listening to rap and without knowing it, he fell in love with rap.

By grade 9, Thanh Long had learned about rap and practiced writing rap. By grade 11, he had truly pursued rap professionally and adopted the stage name LOR.

According to the sharing, the first rap song that LOR listened to was Karik. Because of its interesting accents and catchy melody, it really attracted the young rapper. After many years of listening to rap music to learn, he started to try his hand at the first song.

Finally, LOR clearly defined his dream of pursuing this music genre. That is why the male rapper registered to participate in the first season of Rap Viet. And that was an opportunity and a solid stepping stone for his future path.

At the Rap Viet stage, LOR caused a stir with the classic song "60 years of life" by the late musician Y Van with unique rhymes and flow. The coaches of the competition gave many compliments and 3 "kicks" to this performance of the male rapper.

With his talent and passion for rap, LOR went straight to the Breakthrough round of Rap Viet. Here, the male rapper continued to attract the attention of the audience with his spectacular "transformation". From a person with a calm, unenthusiastic appearance, under the training of coach Suboi, he suddenly shined last night with the trending saying: "Love must be said, like hunger must be eaten".

This time, LOR brought the story revolving around his family, memories of his parents into the rap in an emotional way: "I remember the afternoons eating snails with my mother at Cay Me restaurant", "I remember the first day in the kitchen, my mother taught me to cook for her", "I used to compare myself to a blade of grass and my family to a forest", "Dad doesn't want me to pursue art because this path is uncertain - Mom is afraid I will be overturned while I am busy winning". He also did not hesitate to affirm: "I love my parents very much".

Immediately after the episode ended, social media was abuzz with a screenshot of a YouTube comment revealing LOR’s family situation. From this story and remembering the rap lyrics that the male rapper wrote and performed on stage, many people were moved when he brought the most honest story about his life into the exam.

Reading the above comments, the audience was surprised to learn that LOR's mother had to drive a motorbike taxi to earn a living and raise her son. However, she always supported her son in pursuing his passion, even often boasting to guests about her son performing "60 Years of Life" in Rap Viet. It is known that the young rapper had registered without his mother's knowledge, and only dared to come home and say that he was "going to a singing competition" when he passed the casting round.

Through that, it can be seen that LOR's family situation is quite difficult, without conditions, so his mother only hopes that he can get a university degree to have a decent, stable job. However, she always supports her son to do what he likes. Contacting LOR, the male rapper shared more: "I think, how my mother is, it is clearly shown in my music!".

After the "boost" from Rap Viet, the name rapper LOR became known to more fans. Suboi's student is still focusing on pursuing his musical career and contributing his voice to various projects. "Dam Sau" is the debut product of the rapper born in 2001 after a p.eriod of training and practice. A rap mixed with melody inspired by his own emotions.

When asked about his strengths, LOR frankly shared: "Talking about strengths, I don't know what my strengths are. I simply write about the real emotions that I feel." With "Dam Sau", the lyrics are also carefully crafted by the male rapper. Listeners can imagine the romantic and profound scene of people in love.

In 2023, LOR surprised fans when he returned to Rap Viet season 3. Specifically, in the 5th episode, the male rapper brought to the stage the performance "Vietnam Oi!" and received 2 votes from coach B Ray - BigDaddy, along with 92% of the votes from the audience. After that, the judges brought him to team B Ray to be able to explore his hidden potential.

Talking about participating in the program again, LOR said: "I will bring a new version, a new style to this year's season". Although he performed very well in the following rounds, the male rapper had to stop at the Breakthrough round with the rap "Sao Ma Do Duoc" because he was defeated by Tez of Coach BigDaddy's team with the rap "Enjoy this moment". The result made many people feel sorry for him.

However, after the competition, LOR remained optimistic and said he would strive to complete his studies at school. At the same time, he continued to pursue art. He promised to release many impressive and unique works to serve the audience as soon as possible.
