Brooklyn Hip Hop artist, Ralphy Boy presents his debut project to the world entitled 'Ralphy Boy as THE EXISTENTIAL HERO'. The project is a 7 song EP purely based on energy as it takes listeners on an introductory roller coaster ride through the mind of Ralphy Boy.

The title, Ralphy Boy as THE EXISTENTIAL HERO, is derived from the philosophical concept of Existentialism which is based on the definition of existence. Existentialists are individuals who create their own essence, identity or life meaning rather than believing he/ she was born with one. They also believe the defining process includes solitude, choice and freedom and in order to create ones self, freedom of action is required.

In essence, an Existential Hero is one who chooses to be heroic with no expectations of fame, glory, reward or salvation but to help define one's self which is the basic concept of the project. The cover art further expresses the idea of this concept as it is a photograph of the artist masking his face with his hand which is basically telling listeners put the name Ralphy Boy to the work of art not the face.

Very weak lyrical style based on stolen rhymes from previous classics dropped on annoying beats (except "Get It!" which at least has a dope concept). Better luck next time, Ralphy Boy.
