Rexx Life Raj – Time

“Time” is a reflective, soul-stirring single by Berkeley, California rapper and singer Rexx Life Raj (Faraji Wright), released on August 23, 2019, as part of his acclaimed studio album Father Figure 3: Somewhere Out There. Known for his ability to seamlessly blend therapeutic introspection with west-coast melodic warmth, Raj uses the track to unpack the heavy mental toll of ambition, grief, and the relentless passage of time.

Produced by frequent collaborator Kyle Betty, the song is anchored by a lush, atmospheric instrumental driven by smooth electric piano chords, gospel-infused vocal harmonies, and a slow, head-nodding drum groove. Lyrically, Rexx Life Raj delivers a vulnerable meditation on adulthood, grappling with the loss of loved ones, the pressure to provide for his family, and the realization that time is the ultimate non-renewable resource. He balances raw vulnerability with optimistic resilience, rapping about trading superficial distractions for deep inner peace and generational healing.

Elevated by Raj’s buttery-smooth vocal delivery and poignant songwriting, “Time” stands out as a defining anthem in his catalog, cementing his reputation as one of modern hip-hop’s most emotionally articulate and comforting voices.
