Ruk’ really goes in on Miss Me and lets out a few frustrations (“hollered at Jay Martins for production but he blew me off” ) while reiterating the list of Naija rappers he listens to. In addition, he reminds us that he was the first to jump on the Gbono Feli instrumental (Accurate statement).
Ojukokoro is a new track that Rukus recently completed with Soulbrotha which seems geared to the Naija mainstream audience.

“In 2005 and 2006, Rukus set the Nigerian community abuzz with the release of “African Queen”. After a hiatus from the music scene he returned again in 2008 on Eldee’s “Big Boy” album.
2010 is here and Rukus has set his sights firmly on the Naija music scene. Below is a link to “The Hunger” mixtape which features remixes and features from award-winning Naija artists including Bracket, P-Square, Banky W., Eldee, Iceberg Slim, and Proto (Chiddy) as well as original production from Kid Konnect and Eldee.”
‘The Hunger’ Mixtape is finally here from Rukus… Lovely MixTape!

Rukus is back with more joints off his up coming ‘The Hunger‘ mix-tape, set to drop in 2010. Fashi Mi is really a track by SoulBrotha which will make Rukus’ mixtape. The song was done over Timberland/Drake’s ‘Say Something‘ instrumental; brand new hook and verses. Good effort!
On ‘Dream Deffered Rukus goes in and paints us what comes across as his journey thus far; deep stuff.

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)

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.

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!

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

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!
