Raider Klan (stylized as RVIDXR KLVN) was an American hip hop collective formed in the Carol City neighborhood of Miami Gardens, in 2008. It grew to include members from other U.S. cities, such as Memphis, Seattle (Thraxxhouse), Atlanta and Houston.[1] They are widely regarded by fans, critics, and fellow artists as one of the most influential hip hop movements of the 2010s. In 2012, the Guardian cited them as one of the key acts bringing back hip hop groups.[2]
At its peak, the collective enjoyed a period of rapid growth, emerging alongside groups such as Odd Future and ASAP Mob. Raider Klan originally included rappers SpaceGhostPurrp, Dough Dough Da Don, Kadafi, Muney Junior, and Jitt, before expanding to include Denzel Curry, Chris Travis, Eddy Baker, Xavier Wulf, Ruben Slikk, Lofty305, and dozens more. Many former members went on to pursue successful solo careers or form new groups, such as Seshollowaterboyz and Schemaposse.
