Rukus – Cocky + Life of a Star (freestyle)

Posted on July 2nd, 2009 by Ovie O

On the 1st of January, 2009, Rukus started a trend that has spiralled out of control - with possibly 30 artistes following suit (…and the number’s still growing). It’s well-documented that he’s officially the FIRST rapper to drop a freestyle on the famous Gbono Feli Instrumental (God bless Don Baba J).

Rukus has already finalised plans to release an EP before the end of this month, and he says he’ll hit us with a new song every week till then.

If you’re not a “rapjunkie”, don’t even bother pushing the play button. This is realness. Naija boys are not playin’ anymore!

*O.O*

Truth be told. While ‘your boy’ lord jahza was trying to diss Sauce on the song. The other guy Chaos/Kayos was kicking his butt lyrically on the song.

I wont comment on this guy again. Like i said u guys must know him personally. I didnt bring sauce kid into this. I left my comment on this wacky shit. If u dont like d comment, just observe. And for u to compare sauce to rukus. Ur a fool. Rukus is not an artist. He’s a regular guy dat likes to rap over intrumentals. Thats not a rapper or artist.

@kelechi

do i smell beef? c’mon rukus aint that bad……is he?

‘ he’s a regular guy dat likes to rap over instrumentals’….lol…..ur cracking me up

u need 2 chill out. rukus is keeping busy and contributing to the naija hip hop game. he should be congratulated for starting the gbono feli feli freestyle.

the tracks are a good effort. people will soon take notice whether kelechi likes it or not

Honestly i dnt knw why u notjustok guys prop this guy. U must knw him personally coz virtually he is inexistent. N hes boring, n he has nothin to be cocky about. if u wanna make sense to music listeners, b audible, visible and reachable. Hes just trying too many means. Dropping online albums that dont do anything for him. Notjustok, u lose credibility when u put this guy vs other names. So what if he started rapping on jazzys beat. M.i murdered d beat, this guy slacked on d beat. 3 comments on a job is not a job well done or even worth talking about. Take down dis post already

Kelechi aka Sauce Kid aka Swaggalola, you always appear whenever there is a post involving Sauce Kid and Sauce Kid alone. Unless, ofcourse, it’s a rapper that has dissed Sauce Kid. If your boy (or you) Sauce is as good as Rukus, drop a hit song this year. You can’t drop a verse with true meaning to save your life. Remy Ma’s bitch!
Too bad “the kid” has the wackest video of 2009. The M.I you mentioned is better than Sauce Kid (or you) will ever be.

The game is well-seasoned, it don’t need Sauce

LOL!!! I thought as much. I’ve always felt this Kelechi guy must have some really strong connexion with Sauce Kid bt wasnt convinced… till he left a silly comment on that 10 Naira video “The Game Needs Me.” I like Kelechi I mean Sauce Kid but it seems he’s really broke. No album in how many years, and a cheap-ass video which mirrors the present recession.

So, Kelly Kel… you’ve jacked Remy Ma, you’ve “aped” Zara, you’ve dropped a wack video, you’ve failed to release a decent album, and now you’ve failed to preserve your online identity. Your alias is notjustok anymore so change it before you destroy your reputation irreversibly.

I don’t know what you want Kelechi but I think you’ll need an auditory specialist. If you don’t just like what Rukus is doing dawg, U better get used to it. I ain’t never feelin Sauce ur favourite eva since samboribobo. What was that Video the game needs me. was it a camcorder and some hungry gurls? Damn!!!

True, the beats are insane. The rapper makes good use of the beats though. It seems we can have a true hiphop awards in Naija now. Not one or two rappers dominating the whole thing every year.
