Info When R.A. The Rugged Man dropped his first album, it seemed like he'd been around for years...and, well, he had. The Rugged Man's storied background includes early 90s collaborations with legends like Mobb Deep and The Notorious B.I.G., plus a few epic appearances on the seminal Soundbombing compilations. But until this 2004 masterpiece, he had never released a proper album. Thankfully, R.A. blessed us with Die, Rugged Man, Die, a defiant opus that kick-started his journey from industry outcast to independent hip-hop icon. Featuring the classic single "Chains", Die, Rugged Man Die proved R.A. could deliver on a full-length album, and remains an impressive body of work. Despite the efforts of doubters, R.A. The Rugged Man lives. Tracklist 1. Lessons 2. Casanova (Fly Guy) 3. A Star Is Born 4. Chains (feat. Killah Priest and Masta Killa) 5. Dumb 6. On The Block 7. How Low 8.
