Mr Sletner

Known by his alias Raw B, Mr. Sletner functions as a solo powerhouse who merges hip-hop with electronic sounds through an unusual combination of creativity, sharp intellect, wit, and blunt candor. Across nearly thirty years active in the Pacific Northwest music environment, he maintains a versatile profile as producer, instrumentalist, DJ, emcee, and live performer. Operating independently, he has moved more than 350,000 copies of his solo releases, evidence of steady resolve. He also belongs to the groups Massive Verbal Assault, DPS, The Boxcutters, and the III Kings, where he has continued to test established musical limits. His lyrics favor intelligent, humorous phrasing that produces tracks capable of prompting dancing, laughter, tears, and reflection, frequently within a single song. Raw B stands as a present-day master whose work illustrates the lasting force of artistic growth, bringing genuine character to hip-hop while constantly stretching the edges of musical possibility.
