He wrote a song for his label mate Chilli's upcoming album titled "No Rings on These Fingers" but Chilli never recorded it.
Ray-L has a lot of similarities to his mentor Akon and label-mate T-Pain. Lavender's supposed first single, "My Girl Gotta Girlfriend" was thought to actually be T-Pain due to the similarities in singing style as well as use of a vocoder for various effects. The content of Lavender's songs are also very similar to that of T-Pain. They generally follow a slow-moving, catchy beat with trademarked phrases. His lyrics are also generally aimed at women.
