Hey Party people. Happy New Year. I know I haven’t been out and about performing in a while, just been adding more finishing touches to the music. It is definitely my best work to date thus far. Tomorrow, I will be celebrating Groundhog Day, but I have 3 shows this month that will be even more monumental. Friday, Feb 3rd, I will be competing in the Big Mouth Bout at the Schomberg Center in Harlem. I have 2 Bronx shows in 1 week as well. Feb 12 at Rebel Diaz Arts Collective for the Rock Wall Street event and Feb 17 at The Point for the monthly Art Of Lyrics showcase. Hope to see you out there. Enjoy your Groundhog Day!!

Hey party people.  I got 3 shows booked for the month of September.  Check the Shows section of the page to get caught up and come have a good time at one of them.  Also, I recently did an interview with Nao Live called 5 Questions With Rugged N Raw.  Check the interview here http://www.nao-live.com/nao-live-exclusive-5-questions-rugged-raw/ I have lots of new recorded material, just need to get them mixed properly and I will start leaking some free music for everyone.  Thanks for your patience!

What’s good everyone? Sorry for ignoring the website for the month of July. I have been in a serious writing/recording frenzy. I am happy to say things are coming together very nicely. By early September, I will have a steady timetable for everything, including some freebies to make up for the wait/get the appetite stronger for the upcoming album.  Make sure to join the mailing list and be a fan of the Facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rugged-N-Raw/105636332805872?ref=ts   Thanks as always for your support.  Until then, make sure you have my latest album “Mohammad Dangerfield” the collab duo album with fellow super MC Hasan Salaam.

Salutations!  Fresh off the train from Toronto, I’m headed up to Albany on Friday for the 3rd Annual Beat Shot Music Festival.  The headliners this year are Masta Ace and J-Live.  It is a 3 day event, I will be performing Friday night.  To all in upstate New York, I will tear it down.  Also, got a couple free songs that I will post in the next few days as well as a couple other treats.  Stay tuned.
