Meet The Valley's tongue twister.
When it comes to Raven Felix, the old adage rings true: never judge a book by its cover. The West Coast rapper – petite and doe-eyed – dropped a buzzworthy mixtape in 2014 after garnering the attention of Snoop Dogg, who certified the 19-year-old fresh.

Her Valifornia project boasts appearances by Hip-Hop notables Smoke DZA and Chevy Woods, and has given Raven the stage to proudly put on for "The Valley", a population in Los Angeles County that is majority Latino.

Top Five, Dead Or Alive
Raven is cut from a different cloth. Her top five, dead or alive: Bradley Nowell (late singer from American rock band Sublime), Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Eve and Missy Elliott.
Lituation
Raven's first-ever alcoholic beverage was in the 7th grade! She had a swig of that Southern Comfort. Talk about putting hair on your chest!
Boricua
Although Raven is mostly of Mexican descent, she also carries Puerto Rican in her blood. Her grandmother on her mom's side is half Boricua!
Battle Wounds
Raven has a huge scar on her left hand from running from – wait for it – the cops. She once hopped a fence and when she was just over it, the top of the fence went right through her hand. She had to rip part of it out. Ouch!
Too $hort
Her biggest musical accomplishment since the new year? Featuring West Coast OG, Too $hort, on "Like That".
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
While the rest of us bing-watch the new season of Orange is the New Black, Raven feeds her addiction with TV sitcom, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Snow Tha Product
Given the right song, Raven would love to collaborate with the likes of Snow Tha Product and Becky G. "There's a lot of amazing artists I would love to collab with," she told VIBE Viva. "I support any female artist doing their thing."
Donald Trump
Like many others, Raven was offended by Donald Trump's anti-immigrant speech. " I just think it's wrong and so out of line," she told VIBE Viva. "Every day this country gets more and more brown. I think it was a terrible move on his part considering he's attempting to run for president of a country that's majority Hispanic; we are the consumers and the voters and the foundation of a lot of things, so he kind of f*cked himself. Our Mexican immigrant parents may not be able to vote, but their children can. We're here and we're proud and we've had to see our parents and grandparents work until their bodies deteriorate and we won't let ignorant people like Donald Trump control anything much longer. For him to say we're bringing rapists and sh*t into the country is going way too far – you can't blame one race for that."
OCD
Raven feels like she has an obsessive compulsive disorder. "I have OCD!!!," she explained to us. "I have to organize everything in front of me, for example, and round everything up to increments of 5."
