R.A. The Rugged Man Announces Two New Zealand Shows

Hip hop underdog R.A. The Rugged Man has announced two New Zealand shows for June. The New Yorker has been in the hip hop scene since the early 90s but has had limited commercial success due to falling out with his first label Jive Records, and subsequently being blacklisted. Despite this setback he has worked with some of the biggest names in rap including the likes of Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang Clan and Kool G Rap, and thanks to his confrontational lyrics and on-point flow he has earned a solid place in hip hop's underground elite. Here are the details for his upcoming New Zealand shows...
