About Rugged Soulz:
Two entities comprised of different paths and varied voices set the stage for Rugged Soulz with their essence found in the discovered street yet classic element of hip-hop, attributing much of their style to the genre in its hay day. Pulling from the likes of Pharcyde, Talib Kweli and The Roots, the combination of Mic Lungz's driven intelligence and Ra's paradoxical renaissance manner has drawn the attention of their peers, gaining support for their musical journey.

After dropping their debut album, The Grand Opening in 2009, the group pursued the high road with aligning themselves with top producers in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area such as Oddisee, JUDAH, J-Scrilla (Inner Loop Records) and Choppy-Chop E to focus their sound for their upcoming releases.

Putting DJ YKCOR (Fleet Dj's, Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes) at the front of the push allows Rugged Soulz to maintain visibility in front of a host of dj coalitions around the country while infusing the melodies of live instruments, old school samples and dj scratches to complete the presentation.
