r.a. the rugged man - die rugged man die (2004, lp)

r.a. the rugged man. what a great rapper, yeah!
signed with 18 at jive records as part of the group "crustified dibbs". biggie smalls once was quoted as saying: "i thought i was the illest" reffering to r.a.

i heard he has also signed a book deal to explore his love of boxing announced for this year.

"die rugged man die" is an independent release. he hates major labels and they hate him.

ps: if you like this beat as much as I do - check further beats
from ayatollah, for example "all massive" feat. tek
(of the cocoa brovaz)
















here's the link to the song. another reason why i hate youtube,
mp3 & cds is that you can't pitch the speed. this song is too slowly.
+ 4 would be ok.


boom!

by the way: check the "crustified dibbs"
clip: "bloodshed hua hoo"from the r.a. the rugged man unreleased album
"the night of the bloody apes" (1994)
