Ravyn Lenae talks first crush, Smino’s first impression & more | 'First Times' Season 1 Episode 18

Ravyn Lenae stopped by The FADER to talk about her first performance-a precociously confident cover of Beyoncé's "Baby Boy"-getting over an early crush who didn't reciprocate her love, a French quote she got tattooed on her arm, and getting to know Smino and Monte Booker. She also explains the first major synesthesia experience she had, which coincided with her last EP 'Crush.'

5 years later and I’m still listening. Ravyn has truly progressed as an artist, Hypnosis is one of her best albums yet. I’m happy she still friends with Smino they make beautiful music together

Underrated Queen

[@OGAdriana]

Her presence/music is, just, a breath of fresh air.

[@leoleoniaa]

I’m shock she just turned 20, can’t wait to see her get bigger. Her music brings so much serenity, soul & majestic energy.
