R.A. The Rugged Man (A3C Artist Spotlight)

Written by Sermon | Jun 29

If an underground artist had to pick five highly successful names, R.A. The Rugged Man has to come up as one of the choices. He's managed to slip through the cracks of mainstream fame in lieu of millions of Youtube views, sold out tours and two albums. Being active since 1992, he's worked with the likes of Mobb Deep, Talib Kweli, Akinyele, Vinnie Paz and even Chris Jericho (yes, a rare version of his WWE theme song). Watch his videos for "Holla-Loo-Yuh" with Tech N9ne & Krizz Kaliko and "The People's Champ" below. Then, cop his latest album, Legends Never Die.
