There's SO MUCH bad news these days, but don't be fooled - there's still plenty of great stuff happening too!
This is the story of Ray 3, an aspiring 11-year-old rapper who went viral recently after a photo of his makeshift bedroom "studio" blew up on Twitter.

That tweet, which has since been retweeted nearly 35,000 times eventually caught the attention of songwriter/producer Kenny Beats, who wanted to find the young man and get him some real equipment to work on.
We gotta find him and get him some equipment !!! https://t.co/WPf5B3fz43

Someone also found Ray 3's YouTube channel, which is honestly pretty cute and sometimes features less-than-planned appearances from his little brother.
Well, pretty soon there were people from all over wanted to help Kenny give Ray the hookup.

We should hopefully be hearing some new music from Ray possibly as soon as today, although it hasn't been released at the time of writing.
It's only a matter of time before we're all rocking to Ray's budding genius, and we're 110% here for it.
