“I watched mad rappers bite my shit and blow up/ and make millions off what I created that’s tough luck”. R.A. The Rugged Man, self proclaimed saboteur of his own career, finally drops a fuckin album. Wholly shit! What took him so fuckin’ long? Well, cop the ‘Die, Rugged Man, Die’ wax or CD and R.A. will explain everything. Old grumpy school yard janitor flow over high caliber beats will have you yellin’ “you suck!!” with admiration. Eastern Conference, Tommy Boy, Nature Sounds, and Priority are some of the labels that had to fuck with this dirty white boys sadomasochistic interludes and warped sense of existence. Dexterous word play balanced with a “fuck you pay me” attitude and a Killa Priest/ Masta Killa  appearance  compliment the infectious  pestilence spit by this uncelebrated veteran. My favorite jam would have to be ‘Black and White’ featuring Timbo King. Back to Back rhyme spittin’ reminiscent of Smooth and Trigga and Crazy Dres and the bookS in reverse in the middle to late 90’s keeps you in suspense anticipating the next 16  bars.

 “White canonite creatures/ white sneakers/ white wife beaters/ thin lips, white features.”

“Blackberry’s /black Pelle Pelle/ black Israelis/ go to war with black skullys/ hummers with the black Ferellis.”

“Uncle Ben’s rice white/ hate life white...” and it don’t stop.   “The most underrated in hip hop history” spells it out plain and simple “I don’t want fans that don’t know who G Rap is.”
