Member of the EMC Boyz: Born as Michael Adams in the city of San Francisco and growing up as a bay area resident, Ruge found himself in the midst of one of the biggest revolutions to hit the
music industry in many years… the growing influence of the Hip-hop culture. As
a youngster, Ruge paid special attention to rappers like TuPac Shakur & Get
Low Playaz (G.L.P.). He found their words explained much of what was going
on in his life. Young & hungry for success, it wasn’t until Ruge grew older &
realized that life wasn’t as giving as people say. He knew his choices were to
chase the music or chase the grind. One of the first songs Ruge recorded was
a dub over the song “I got 5 on it” by the Luniz. With his good friend J-Hustle,
they played the beat in the background & recorded the vocals with another boom
box that had a microphone hooked up to it. It wasn’t the best way to do things
but it was the beginning of a learning process that goes along with any dream.
Ruges’ choice of deep personal thoughts overlaid by raw and solid vocals are
making peoples’ heads turn. With a dynamic bass kick, an energetic
composition of bass lines, strings, and guitars, this music has attracted the
ears of many listeners. Most of Ruge’s lyrics come from life in general. He’s
able to put into plain words some things others have trouble expressing. From
girlfriends, to family, best friends to shady friends, grindin’ to shinin’, life to
death, Ruge links these parts of everyday life & associates them with his own.
As a dedication to his parents, the song “Still love ya” is a compelling
description of his childhood days growing up and the events that overshadowed
his upbringing.
This isn’t just another rapper, this is a poetic MC, & his multi-talents are
revealed on his debut album, “The Commencement,” as he shows his
songwriting and musical skills. However, Ruge still posses and displays a hard-
hitting, rough side to his persona that it is apparent in a few songs including
“Set it off” off the album “The Commencement.” With the microphone in his control, Ruge becomes a unifying force that gave him his nickname. A youngster who put the mic in his hand and became a possessed man, Ruge got his nickname from the quick but forceful, effortless but influential, and the smooth but ruthless way he has come to spit his rhymes.
New horizons appear in Ruge’s future and he is keeping his eyes towards the
future. His countless hours spent in the studio and on stage will soon produce
many hits to come. His youth and energy assure that this is only the beginning
of a fierce career, and a magnificent contribution to the story & the life of rap &
hip-hop.
