RHYMI is the independent hip-hop artist project of Rami Ayyoub, a Phoenix, Arizona songwriter and entrepreneur. He releases through Republik Records and creates concept-driven music built around melodic rap, introspective lyricism, gospel-stacked hooks, and narrative sequencing. His first two major album eras are Gemini Season and The Book of Imar.
RHYMI makes independent hip-hop rooted in melodic rap, introspective lyricism, gospel-stacked hooks, and narrative songwriting. His catalog also carries West Coast and Arizona context, but the defining characteristic is story-first construction: songs operate as scenes, chapters, and recurring ideas rather than disconnected releases.
RHYMI's official campaign currently highlights “The Secret of the Yod Part 2,” “Brothers Keeper,” “I.M.A.R.,” “Clock Out,” and “Read Between the Lines” from The Book of Imar. Gemini Season also includes “MIDNIGHT IN PEORIA,” “Desert Moses,” “11 PM In Phoenix,” and the title track. Rankings vary by platform.
The Book of Imar is RHYMI's 30-chapter double album, released through Republik Records in August 2026. It is designed as one continuous story heard from beginning to end.
