Rugged Intellect

about

Rugged Intellect is the true Renaissance Man of hip-hop. Armed with an endless barrage of multi-layered flows and a penchant for sinister street narratives, Rugged is the next generation of the MC, mastering the art of crafting timeless records that will resonate in the world of hip-hop music forever. Raising himself out of the gutters of poverty, Rugged Intellect's name is synonymous with breaking barriers and making history at every turn. Co-signed by some of hip-hop's most official MCs and producers, Rugged's potential hints at a level of greatness comparable to some of the lyrical mercenaries he has worked with, from Queens legend Kool G Rap to West Coast icon Ras Kass, to name a few. Starting off as an upstart MC in his hometown of Montreal, Rugged's story is an inspirational one. Raised in a single parent household, young Rugged's adolescence was filled with eye-opening experiences and life lessons that eventually gave him the knowledge and wisdom he possesses today. Blessed with his signature gravel baritone and an undying thirst to chase his dreams, Rugged's entry into the game was quite unexpected. After demonstrating his undeniable talents on early solo recordings, Rugged Intellect was signed to Artistic Parole in 2004, a Universal-distributed label founded by former Dreamworks and Priority Records A&R Ryan Urie. Leaving his stomping grounds for the star-studded strips of Hollywood, Rugged recorded an EP which featured production from DJ Muggs of Soul Assassins/Cy
