Few artists are ever as controversial as they are influential. New York legend R.A. The Rugged Man has lived up to this billing by combining
the authenticity of his undeniably rugged life with his undisputed mic skills.
Having been left for dead by the industry, the Rugged Man has somehow emerged in 2013 with a thriving career, a nonstop touring schedule, a
die-hard fan base, and a new album that is sure to solidify his place as one of the most important figures in underground hip-hop. "The only
reason I live is to be the best at what I do and I get better at it every day of my life," he says. "I can't wait to unleash it to the world.

Album features high-profile guest appearances from the likes of Hopsin, Tech N9ne, Talib Kweli, Krizz Kaliko, Brother Ali, Masta Ace, Vinnie Paz, Sadat X, Eamon, Bumpy Knuckles, and more.

Production from Marco Polo, Buckwild, Apathy, Ayatollah, Mr. Green, and more.
