Known for dominating the airwaves with hard-hitting bars and chart-topping Trapco anthems, Bucky Raw is now making noise in an entirely different industry, telecommunications. The celebrated Hip Hop and Trapco artist has officially launched Raw Connection, a communications company aiming to revolutionize how Liberians and others around the world stay connected.
At the heart of the company’s first product is an innovative handheld walkie-talkie-style device that allows users to make international calls without relying on traditional mobile network infrastructure. The launch of this device is not just a business move, it’s a bold step toward bridging the digital divide in Liberia and amplifying access to communication tools across the country.
“If Elon Musk can connect the world with Starlink, I can connect Liberia with Raw Connection,” Bucky Raw was quoted as saying during a soft launch preview.
Breaking Barriers, One Call at a Time
The Raw Connection Radio is designed for universal accessibility, from urban centers like Monrovia to some of the most remote parts of the country where network signals often fail. Whether you’re in the heart of West Point or deep in the southeastern jungles, the device promises clear, stable communication with any part of the world.
It’s a solution that comes at a critical time, especially for sectors such as agriculture, mining, construction, and logistics, where teams are often dispersed and network failures can stall operations. From private users and small businesses to larger institutions like the Liberian National Police (LNP), the potential applications are endless.
Built for Everyday Users & Institutions
Unlike traditional walkie-talkies or radios, the Raw Connection device supports real-time international communication, and it’s engineered to meet global standards. It doesn’t depend on cell towers, making it ideal for fieldwork, security teams, humanitarian missions, or anyone needing reliable communication without the burden of high data costs or signal instability.
“It’s more than just a gadget. It’s a lifeline for people working in tough conditions and for families separated by distance,” a member of Bucky’s team told Geez Liberia.
From Rap to Empowerment
While Bucky Raw has built his reputation as a fearless lyricist and cultural icon, this move into tech sends a strong message: Liberian entertainers can be innovators too. By launching Raw Connection, he joins a growing class of African creatives who are expanding their impact beyond entertainment, investing in tangible solutions for real-world challenges.
This is more than a brand, it’s a movement.
Raw Connection reflects Bucky’s long-standing vision of empowering his community, creating jobs, and tackling infrastructural gaps head-on. It’s a reminder that innovation doesn’t have to come from Silicon Valley, it can come from the borough of New Kru Town.
Call to Action
As the product hits the market, Bucky Raw is encouraging Liberians at home and abroad, as well as companies operating within Liberia, to support the initiative.
“Support isn’t just about buying a product. It’s about believing that we, as Liberians, can create, build, and lead in global industries,” he said.
Congratulations to Bucky Opong Raw on this monumental step into the tech world. With Raw Connection, he’s not just making music anymore, he’s making history.
