"Negativity, we don't need," Rayzor says on his voice-mail greeting. "Positivity, we don't have enough of it." That self-scripted message has been at the heart of Rayzor's rise from struggling local comic in the 1990s to national touring act with an HBO appearance and documentary film to his credit. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., as Raymond Davis, Rayzor took his act national in June 2005 with a knockout five-minute set on the HBO standup series P. Diddy Presents the Bad Boys of Comedy. The North Lauderdale resident followed it up by directing the recently released documentary Real Talk: Hip Hop Comedy, in which he interviews D.L. Hughley, Earthquake and Sheryl Underwood, among others, about the urban comedy scene. The 75-minute DVD release includes standup footage from up-and-coming comics, but at its heart Real Talk provides a road map to becoming a successful comic, a process Rayzor knows firsthand.
