LinkRyan A. Thorburn, better known as R.A. the Rugged Man, is a rapper from Suffolk County, New York on Long Island, who with his father lived in over 20 addresses throughout the area. He began his music career at age 12. At 18, he signed to Jive Records as part of the group Crustified Dibbs (A vehicle for R.A. and producer Nigga Niles). Due to violent and disgusting behavior R.A. was blackballed and feared by music industry executives throughout much of the 1990's. Effectively banned from all major record labels, R.A. honed his skills on the underground scene, working with such artists as Notorious B.I.G, Mobb Deep,Tragedy Khadafi, various Wu-Tang Clan affiliates (Killah Priest, Timbo King, Masta Killa, Hell Razah), Jedi Mind Tricks, Agallah, Sadat X, Akinyele, Prince Paul, Prince Po, Craig G, Company Flow, and J-Live, as well as producers Erick Sermon, Trackmasters, DJ Quik, Alchemist, J-Zone, Binky Mac of Allfrumtha I, Stoupe The Enemy Of Mankind, Bronze Nazareth, and Ayatollah. He was featured on all three of Rawkus’s Soundbombing albums, as well as the platinum-selling WWF Aggression album. In 2004 R.A. released his long awaited debut album "Die, Rugged Man, Die" which received good reviews and sold very well on an independent level. ego trip, Vol. 1, Issue 3 quoted Notorious B.I.G as saying "I thought I was the illest." referring to R.A. The Rugged Man. R.A.'s signature rhyming style, which frequently includes verses full of internally rhymed words, delivered in a relentless, machine-gun style:
Hospitable, hittable, cooler than Digable, criminal
Miracle-lyrical, take every syllable literal
it'll riddle, profitable, visible, irritable
little brittle, pitiful, fists'ill do little, you tickle, you typical.
~ R.A. the Rugged Man feat. Killah Priest & Masta Killa - Chains
