RA The Rugged Man






He is an artist who never gets mentioned enough on here in my opinion. Not too many people know who he is, which is a shame. He has been MCing since the age of twelve and active on a larger scale since 1992. He has recorded with the likes of Jedi Mind Tricks, Kool G Rap, Biggie, Mobb Deep, Chuck D, Sadat X, Wu-Tang Clan, Hell Razah, Killah Priest, and much more. He released his first album in 2004, but has recorded much more material, including an unreleased album recorded in 1994. Here are some solid verses by RA The Rugged Man...
