Delbert R. Harris, aka the artist Lil’ Raskull, is world renown as one of the pioneers of Christian Rap today. He has been recording Christian Rap for over 15 years and remains a vital voice in the industry.
“Sikkshades is stoked to have Lil’ ‘Ras’ Raskull’ as a member of our team,” says Bruce Glasgow, Chief Operations Officers of Sikkshades by Eddie Bauer, Jr., “We are fortunate to have the caliber of talent, history, and authenticity of someone like Ras representing our brand and introducing it to the Hip Hop community.”
Lil’ Raskull grew up in Trinity Garden, a ghetto on the north side of Houston, TX. He began performing in 1993 and released his first single, “Luv Ya Groove”, the following year on Deadgame Records. In 1995, Lil’ Raskull devoted himself to Christ combining his faith with his music. That same year he signed with Grapetree Records (EMI), and by 2000 Grapetree became the number one Christian Hip Hop label in the world. During that time RAS’ 1998 release Gory to Glory, was nominated for “Best Rap Album of the Year” by the Dove Awards and he was one of the first Christian Hip Hop artist to appear in Source Magazine, Rap Pages, and Billboard Magazine. In 2001, Ras founded Javo Records where he continues to operate, record, and tour today. Ras has sold over one hundred thousand records and has appeared all over the nation sharing dates with artist like Tye Tribett, The News Boys, MC Hammer, Cross Movement, Da’ T.R.U.T.H.

According to his manager, Johnny Flores of Artist PR Services “I like promoting artist that are inspiring people on the streets, spiritually and intellectually – ‘Ras’ has always executed that well and the industry continues to discover that.”
Raskull is gearing up for several interviews with the media and chalking out tour dates for summer 2014, aggressively promoting his Brand, and endorsing Sikkshades products while gracing his fans with his recent release of his mixtape album 5ft Mogul.
“I’ve always been known as wearing cool shades, but these are the best pair I have ever worn and I know my fans are going to love them too,” said Lil’ Raskull. He recently added the Sikkshades brand name in a song currently on-line “Black Car, No Rims” at: soundcloud.com/harrisco-1/ras-black-car-no-rims (mentioned at 36 seconds).
