STRONG ISLAND IS BACK!!! THE OFFICIAL, AUTHENTIC, HIP-HOP!!!
It's been a long time since Long Island hit the rap scene with something brilliantly new and refreshing. The game has changed and so has the streets of suburban society. Renny Rugah has no problem displaying the realness of every hood, particularly his own. A step above your everyday lyrics about hustlin in the infamous 5 boroughs, the ‘Lost Borough of Long Island has finally regained their respect and is once again renaming a new heir to the throne. His movement consists of no frills, hip-hop that doesn’t rely on gimmicks and formula to get the job done: just a wicked beat and ingenious flow. With references to the now exposed reputation of Long Island’s successful harboring of embezzlers & infamous gangs. Renny is leaving no shell unturned. “It’s always been like this. It just took a minute for mothaf***as to catch on. Anybody that’s makin real doe or moving serious weight is moving it out here. It’s less chaos. Your everyday $5,000 a week crackhead ain't a washed up, bum on the street anymore. He’s evolved to a social, white collar worker with a family, wife, kids, and plenty of ‘old money to blow. Niggaz out here is makin a killing their first week out. That’s the TRUTH! -Renny Rugah

Why this name?
"MY FAM USED TO CALL ME RENAZANCE. THAT'S WHERE "RENNY' CAME FROM FOR SHORT. BUT WHEN I STARTED RHYMIN' THEY WOULD SAY I SPIT LIKE A RUGER HANDGUN. SO NOW THEY JUST CALL ME RENNY or RUGAH."
Do you play live?
"YEAH ALL OVER. MAINLY UPTOWN MANHATTAN. THAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS GAME REALLY. IT LET'S THEM FEEL WHAT YOU REALLY ALL ABOUT. YOU CAN PORTRAY sh*** THAT YOU CAN'T DO ON RECORD FA' SHOW!!"
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
"IT JUST MAKES IT MORE ACCESSABLE TO MORE PEOPLE THAT'S ALL. NOT EVERYBODY HAS A PC THOUGH. ESPECIALLY ROUND MY WAY. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS GET TO THE PEOPLE THAT YOU REALLY WANT IT TO. BUT IT'S STILL COOL."
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
"OF COURSE I WOULD. RENNY RUGAH'S NO BACKPACKER, YOU FEEL ME? ANYBODY WHO SAYS THEY'RE AN ASPIRING ARTIST BUT ONLY WANTS CERTAIN HEADS TO BE A FAN, IS A LIAR OR JUST A FOOLISH IDIOT. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE SEE THINGS YOUR WAY. SOME CATZ LIKE THAT SHIT! I DON'T KNOCK IT THOUGH ITS JUST MO' MONEY FOR MY HUSTLE YA HEARD? A MAJOR LABEL MAKES IT HAPPEN. ESPECIALLY IT THEY AIN'T TRYIN' TO COMPROMISE YOUR ARTISTRY OR ROB YOU FOR YOUR RIGHTS AND MASTERS. That's wassup!!"
Your influences?
"TOO MANY TO NAME. ALL OF EM'. JUST AUTHENTIC HIP-HOP PERIOD, YOU KNOW?"
Favorite spot?
"The Studio, wherever I got time."
Equipment used:
