"Freedom Form Flowing" by Gift of Gab, AFRO & RA the Rugged Man [Audio]

"Kubrick ride with us, rivals fighting five of us/

Bitches slide with us, my dick is harder than elephant ivory tusks/

Baphomet, bison, bite the dust, slime and crust, life of lust/

Tyson, biting, knife slicing guts, sniffin' cyber dust/"

Underground hip-hop luminaries from East to West unite as Gift Of Gab is joined by R.A. The Rugged Man and A-F-R-O on the new track "Freedom Form Flowing". Taken from Gift Of Gab's new EP "Rejoice! Rappers Are Rapping Again!", which is now available at https://www.patreon.com/giftofgab.

16 year old Rapper named TOKEN spits for R.A the Rugged Man [Video]

RA The Rugged Man presents a 16 year old rapper named Token, who although doesn't look to be a threat, will melt your face off when you watch this video.

"Change Gonna Come" by Shuko ft. Saigon, Vinnie Paz & RA the Rugged Man

"OK, now for my last election/

I'm under pressure like Manning without the pass protection/

Television is just a weapon of mass deception/

Why you think all these women is gettin' ass injections?/"

German producer, Shuko, is releasing an album on February 3, which features the likes of Masta Ace, Evidence, B-Real, Blu, Talib Kweli & much more. I found this track from the project which features 3 artists that I really enjoy listening to. It's weird hearing these 3 vicious emcees collaborate over such a pop-sounding beat, but their verses are still dope and the message is strong. Check it!

"Media Midgets" by RA The Rugged Man [Music Video]

"Who's to blame when the brain of the next insane psycho flips/

Brain cells are programmed like they're membrane micro chips/

I'm guns and bible, I'm pro-life and pro-war, pro-fighting/

Profanity, writing, reciting, gambling, tossing the dice/"

This video reminds me of Borderlands or some shit. Pretty creepy and it's a very well done set of visuals. I really like this track, it has a nice smooth vibe to it and RA goes in n says some shit. Check it!

"House of Games 2" by Locksmith ft. RA The Rugged Man

"Laws and religion cause the hoards of division/
Doors of admission causing the friction, inscription like the walls of Egyptians/
Paint a portrait like the lord of the Christians, tainting awe to this pigment/
False depiction got us all in a prison/"

Pretty sure that first Locksmith verse is from the last House of Games release. He added RA to this version though, and then follows him by adding to the murder RA had already incited with a 2nd verse. This is a crazy collab. Check it.

"Still Get Through The Day" by RA the Rugged Man ft. Eamon [Music Video]

"Living in a breeze, please, life's full of tragedies/
We see our friends die, some get murdered, some die by disease/
Got your finger on the trigger, don't do it/
Contemplating suicide, just put the gun down, we all been through it/"

RA dropped some visuals for one of the deeper tracks off his latest album, Legends Never Die. The video captures a vintage feel which helps RA's past come back to life through both the song and the video. This track's pretty cool. Check it.

"Sam Peckinpah" by RA the Rugged Man ft. Vinnie Paz & Sadat X [Music Video]

"Designed frequency, I'm a holy divine lyrical deity/
Even atheists and heathens and non-believers believe in me/
The punk ass devil was born soft, I'll piledrive him like Paul Orndorff/
Steal his pitchfork and rip his horns off, I'm the born force/"

RA the Rugged Man just released the video for one of my favourite tracks from Legends Never Die, "Sam Peckinpah". Vinnie and Sadat X had to bring their talent and their suits for this shit as they try to re-create a setting of the past. Check it.

"The Dangerous Three" by RA The Rugged Man ft. Brother Ali & Masta Ace [Music Video]

"I'm straight raw, cocaine, natural/
You that flesh eating veterinarian drug used to de-worm cattle/
The same way Big flipped mics, I'mma show you how I run things/
I'm the Don, Corleone, Cornelius, Trump, King/"

Some new visuals for this "Legends Never Die" collaboration dropped today. RA brings Brother Ali and Masta Ace back to the time of tommy guns and fly suits. Looks like they probly had a lot of fun filming this shit. Check it.

"Holla-Loo-Yuh" by RA The Rugged Man ft. Tech N9ne & Krizz Kaliko

"I'm like sell em the heroin and give em the needle/
I'm in ya cerebral, this wigger is evil/
Limit the people, piss in the cathedral/
Aborting your mission like a position that's fetal/"

Aww yeah. Been waiting for this video for a while now. Don't know why. It wasn't THAT great. But it was still entertaining. A lot of the scenes were pretty funny just seeing Tech & RA making weird faces n shit. I already posted this track when it was first released so I won't elaborate. If I tried my head would end up shakin' like RA's and I certainly don't need that. Check it!

"Smells Like" by Jarren Benton ft. RA the Rugged Man

"None of you dumb fucks concerning us/
I tie you to the gas stove in Hell, tell Lucifer turn the furnace up/
Me and RA the Rugged, you fuckers gon love it/
You a bitch, you snuggle with men, take dick, kiss it and chug it/"

This track is really vulgar and grimy. I love it. Both Jarren Benton and RA the Rugged Man have crazy flows and lyrics that create imagery in your mind. The beat's also really grimy and these dude's wrote their lyrics to fit it perfectly. I'm startin' to dig Jarren Benton's music a bit more now that I know all of it's pretty raw and fucked up. He's good at making this kinda music lol. Check it!

"Holla-Loo-Yuh" by RA the Rugged Man ft. Tech N9ne & Krizz Kaliko

 

"It's a brutal system, assume position/
You superstition that you a Christian/

School religion is a cruel depiction/
It could blind your hearing, it could mute your vision/"

 

Holy fuck. This song is so fucking sick. RA made a really good business move by adding this song to the tracklist. C-Lance produced this crazy beat that Tech & RA absolutely murdered. On top of that Krizz Kaliko delivers a sick chorus, as always. But man I'm lost for words, you gotta listen for yourself.

Behind the Scenes: "Dangerous Three" by RA the Rugged Man ft. Brother Ali & Masta Ace

One album that I'm looking forward to this month is RA the Rugged Man's "Legends Never Die", which will be released on April 30. This video takes you behind the scenes of just one of the songs from the album. First off, Mr. Green takes you through the production process of the song's instrumental, and leads into RA goin nuts over Brother Ali's part. Later on RA steps in the booth and starts wreckin shit. The scratch part he was showing off sounds so sick.. I need to contact that DJ lol. Anyways, check it.

"The People's Champ" by RA the Rugged Man

 

"I've been a problem since my first birth date/
In the delivery room my dick hit the ground and it caused an earthquake/
The school hallways I was pissin in/
As a kid I was lackin' in discipline, ignoring authorities and never listenin/"

 

They say legends never die. Which is why the Rugged Man is still alive and killin' shit. I actually can't wait to hear his album, entitled "Legends Never Die", which drops on the 30th of April. On top of him being a beast himself, he has an elite line-up of expected features on his album. These features include Hopsin, Tech N9ne, Masta Ace, Vinnie Paz & Brother Ali. Sounds like my kinda shit lol. This joint's produced by Apathy, and it suits RA's raw voice and crazy flow. This is hip-hop at it's finest folks!
