Video: RUGGEDMAN - EMI NI FT DAGRIN

The much awaited video of Ruggedman ft Dagrin is here.

If you dont still have Ruggedman's untouchable album, this is yet another reason to do so. Its available online at the Notjoustok shop.

Profile of the week: Ruggedman

Real Name: Michael Ugochukwu Stephens

Stage Name: Ruggedman

Date of Birth: September 20 

State of Origin: Abia State, Nigeria.

Genre: Rapper

A graduate of political science from Lagos State University, Ọ̀jọ́, he started loving music in 1989. He had his own songs done in 1991 and released a CD, which had two tracks. The two songs got massive air play, but in 2002, Ruggedman felt Nigerian rappers (such as Rasqie,Eedris Abdulkareem, Maintain and many others) lacked talent and he needed to do something about it. He was the most controversial musician at that time and that won him a lot of awards.

One of his controversial tracks is Big Bros. This diss track was attacking the CEOs of Kennis Music Keke Ogungbe and Dayo "D1" Adeneye. He also hit harder than anyone could have imagined when he said "the fact that you have (got) money doesn't mean you can toy with me" reasons being that he felt that the CEOs were politicizing the industry and barring other acts from proving their skills. He did not attack rappers such as Modenine, 2-Shotz, Freestyle, Six Foot+ possibly because he saw them as rappers who use words, because that was what he advised Edris Abdulkareem - "try use words, and u might sound nice, but not as precise as my guys you see in front of your eyes". He is from the Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria.

He has however made up with all the people he has dissed in the past save for Mode Nine.

New Video: Ruggedman ft. Ice Prince - She N My Swagger

Yes! Finally a video from the 'Untouchable album' by Ruggedman which is rumoured to be his last L.P before he hangs his music boot. Ruggedy Baba delivers once again on the joint 'She n my swagger' and with a Choc Boy on your track, you can hardly go wrong. Good quality video as well.
I know the old adage goes, 'take a bow when the ovation is loudest' but is it really time 4 him to leave?
Enjoy!

Ruggedman Drops Album! + 'Because of You' ft MI and 2face

Ruggedman dropped his album, 'Untouchable' on Nov 24th, and although it flew under the radar of the massive hype from MI’s album, I still heard it was a pretty solid effort. The whole issue with 9ice/Toni Payne has been a very big distraction but he still put 2gether put together this massive Album that features an eye-bulging list of artist; 2face, P-Square, MI, Ice Prince, Da Grin, Flavour and a host of others 
Check out 'Beacause of you' ft MI & 2face below, Rugged goes strong as usual and MI definitely spit life outa the track. it is one to put on repeat.
