Rayko/KRB is an American Pop/Rock/Hip-hop act from Miami, Florida. The band was originally formed in New Jersey by Rayko Pipes (lead vocals/lyrics, real name Ray Einhorn) and Kenny Ryan (guitars, real name Dan Rainey) when they attended Caldwell College together in the early 2000's. The current line up consists of Rayko, guitarists Milo the Great and Dan Rainey, DJ Je Remy and vocalist Katie Stone. In addition to this line-up Rayko/KRB often plays with many guest musicians. In late 2005, Rayko/KRB signed with Miami-based independent record label BinaryStar Music. In February 2006, the band released its debut EP, titled "Six" which was quickly embraced by podcasters like C.C. Chapman and internet radio programmers alike. In June 2007, Rayko Pipes was named "Reader's Choice Best Hip-hop Vocalist" in Broward-Palm Beaches New Times Newspaper. The following month, July 2007 "The RockStar Poor LP" was released and the emotive ballad "Simple Love Song" placed #2 on The PMC Top10.

In October 2007, Rayko/KRB entered Bodog's Battle of the Bands (Season 2) winning both Miami showcases they performed in at Studio A. In January 2007, the band performed at Tabu in Orlando and was one of 3 bands that won Bodog's Florida Semi-Regionals and advanced to the Regional showcase March 2008 in Atlanta, GA at Center Stage.
