Review:

It's been a long time, sorry he left you. R. A. The Rugged Man is back and he's BACK to take over the world, not just Hip-Hop. The HEAVY WEIGHT lyricist, The Rugged Man is about to stir up HIPHOP in a good way. This album is almost or in most ears, a #classichiphopalbum. 

 The production of this album alone sounds so beautiful. When I'm listening, I'm seeing the world full of colors. I'm seeing love, hate, emotions and spirits. This is his BEST album by far. Best BEATS by far. There are various producers, so do me a favor and qoute your favorites in the comments. #BeatsForDays

Have you ever wanted to hear an album so bad and when you did, the artist(s) didn't disappoint? THIS IS IT! He's been teasing the Hip-Hop community with singles like, "Legendary Loser", "Golden Oldies" and "Wondering (How To Believe)". All singles have been in my rotation prior to this album release. This dude also has all the BEST rappers saying, "Wait, don't put that out yet." "Did you hear what he said?"

 R. A. The Rugged Man is incredible with his BARS. The way he controls his rhyme patterns throughout this 22 track masterpiece is phenomenon. I cannot find anything really wrong with this. Move over Royce Da 5'9, Mr. Rugged would like to say something. 

 I haven't even mentioned the features yet. This album is blessed with so many hip-hop SUPERHERO'S, you will think we are back in the 90's. Where HIP-HOP MATTERED. #hiphopmatters Not only does it matter, it's needed. And this is a HIP-HOP CLASSIC ALBUM. We don't have them often. They are very RARE. We got one with Royce in February and have come close with others like Uncle Murda in January. Please read other blogs or view my other YouTube videos to FIND OUT. 

 This ALBUM is so good, I'm not bringing up R.A.'s past. Let's celebrate NOW. This is a 5.0 MIC album! #HipHopSavedMyLife

 If your reading or watching R. A. The Rugged Man, THANK YOU! I THANK YOU AND I'M PRETTY SURE HIP-HOP THANKS YOU. 

 Please check out my daughter's clothing line below. Also, my YouTube and other clothing ventures. Thanks in advance.

G Fam Black VS Ceverely Yours

G Fam Black VS Ceverely Yours Dear G Fam Black, Thank you once again for participating in this interview. I know you don’t do many press features, and this is a wonderful chance for your fans to learn a bit about you while still keeping some of that mystery. I truly appreciate it. Peace, G. I’m grateful for this opportunity! - G Fam Black Questions & Answers: 1. Are you originally from Brockton Massachusetts? And where are the best places to eat? Absolutely, I was born and raised in Brockton. There are plenty of great food spots here. For the best chicken, I’d recommend “Yas Chicken” and “Birdies Hot Chicken”, which are both fantastic. For breakfast, I have to mention “Alexander's Family Restaurant”. They’ve been around since I was a kid, and their omelets are incredible. For pizza, “Cape Cod Cafe Pizza” is the way to go—it's the best bar pizza in the world, a true South Shore Massachusetts specialty. A lot of towns near Brockton brag about having the best bar pizza, but th...

How To Support Your Local Rapper/Producer?

  The Core Problem: The Illusion of Support vs. Real Financial Impact Many fans believe that streaming a song, watching a music video, or following an artist on social media is "support." While this is valuable for visibility, it provides almost no direct income, especially for artists without major label backing. The Streaming Chasm:  It's well-known that streaming payouts are meager. An artist might need  hundreds of thousands of streams  just to earn a modest monthly rent. For underground rappers without playlist placements or algorithmic favor, this is an insurmountable hurdle. The "Exposure" Fallacy:  Many shows, especially for opening acts or in competitive markets, are "pay-to-play" or offer minimal guarantees. Playing for "exposure" doesn't pay bills. So, if streaming and low-tier shows don't cut it, how  can  fans genuinely support rappers, especially underground ones? Let's break it down by impact. Tier 1: The Lifeblood ...

P-Ro is 12 FOR 12

Dear P-Ro, Thank you once again for participating in this interview. The year of 2025 was definitely a great year for you. 12 Albums in 12 months is something to be proud of. Your consistency, drive and performance shows, if you work hard, the world is yours. Questions & Answers: 01 Releasing one album per month for a year is a monumental, almost athletic creative feat. What was the core philosophy or personal need that drove this marathon? Was it to break a habit, prove something, or simply because the music was overflowing? -It was actually a little bit of all those, and wanting to challenge myself with a goal and try to get better at being organized. The list of projects I made in December looks different than what I ended up doing. If I wasn't dedicated to monthly drops, I probably wouldn't have made 4-5 of the ones I did. It's great to have a team that's like-minded and can dive in with me when I need them and make great, fun music together and share it with th...
