Some more heat from Rukus!

These tracks are off his upcoming mixtape, “The Hunger” which is set to drop at the end of March, 2010. ‘The mixtape will be a combination of songs and freestyles representing both hiphop in America and in Naija, and will have plenty of cuts you can bob your head to, dance to, and just vibe to.’

Listen!!! (said in DJ Kahled voice)

The Name’s Ruk

Fear

Brand new Rukus; no hook just straight spittin fiya as usual…  Sounds like Ruk’ has his eyes on Naija now. I really hope he makes that move.

‘...and the phone’s been ringing/since me Slim and Chidy Bang hopped on BigBoy remix, made it a bigger thing‘

Rukus, another well respected Nigerian rapper in Yankee, always keeps it fresh when he resurfaces.

This track was produced by Kid Konnect; he samples the ‘Woman’s Work‘ song by Maxwell. It’s a slow tune and Rukus come correct as always.

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*

Cocky (Prod by J-Slikk)

Life of a Star (Freestyle)

Another fiya but mellow type track from Rukus; you’ll be bobbing your head as you listen.

Rukus, SoulBrotha and Naira do justice to Beyonce’s ‘Diva’ instrumental… Rukus switches up the flow on this one.

‘It’s a Takeover Baby… Jump on the BandWagon while you can’

WHOA!
First of all you don’t have a choice but to move when the actual song begins (30 seconds after you press play), your body will just respond to the feel of the track. I think, the combination of the content, delivery and beat is what elicits the emotion that causes your body to do what it will do.

Rukus and Soulbrotha came hard on this one. *PAUSE* … Song was produced by Kid Konnect who did a great job… Solid track!

Listen, enjoy and feel free to state your thoughts

Soulbrotha makes a cameo in the video. Right at the 3:13 mark, the video changes to the 'I'm the Best Cause' track off his Can't Forget Album

Previously: Rukus – Gbono Feli Feli (Freestyle)

This is a track recorded a while back by Soul Brother and Rukus. It has a strong Fela influence and it talks about the realities of Lagos or Port Hacourt (insert the city you are from in Naija). Let me know what you think.
