For this installment, I bring another artist who I just found out about recently. RA The Rugged Man is a Long Island rapper and this is from his newest release
Legends Never Die. What's probably the most interesting thing about him is that he started his rapping career back in the early 90s, even Biggie Smalls himself said at one point "...and I thought
I was the illest" when having heard him. The thing here too is just how even coming from so long back, RA shows no signs of fatigue lyrically.
The beat here has a nice battle-rap feel to it, but RA's lyricism, wordplay and flow are just absolutely mental. He's tears up whole generations of rappers in a few lines, and some of his verses are just flat out hilarious. My personal favorite comes at about 3:01 and is one of the best closing lines in any track I've ever heard
While some people may be turned off by the oldschool vibe that this has, it's definitely worth a listen to hear some lyrical destruction.
