Raymond: Comedian in New York

About Raymond

Raymond is an individual artist whose public profile is closely associated with *Raymond v. Raymond*, a 2010 studio album connected to Usher and released through LaFace Records. The project was built through a wide producer roster, from Jermaine Dupri and RedOne to Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, reflecting an approach shaped by collaboration and shifting pop-R&B aesthetics. In performance contexts, the material tends to privilege precision and studio-built structure over looseness. New York City listings often place this work in dialogue with the city’s club and theater circuits, where production-forward R&B is a recurring language.
