Renny Rugah
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 mothafuckas 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
