Diss-Or-Daps Presents:
Season 5 – Episode 59
R.A. The Rugged Man LIVE in Vancouver
R.A. The Rugged Man is one of the most fascinating figures in hip-hop history. His career spans decades, and defies simple narratives. The Rugged Man has been an up-and-coming star, an industry outcast banished and forgotten, an underground cult hero, an independent success story, and an influential master of the art form. He can obliterate rappers with ferocious battle rhymes, craft heartfelt personal songs fans can relate to, offend sensitive listeners with shocking vulgarity, challenge corrupt politicians and corporations, paint pictures with captivating storytelling, and deliver jaw-dropping flows that prove his lyrical skills are unmatched. He’s also worked with a staggering number of hip-hop’s most respected artists, including legends like The Notorious B.I.G., Wu-Tang, Tech N9ne, Rakim, Mobb Deep, Talib Kweli, Kool G Rap, Public Enemy, Jedi Mind Tricks, Brother Ali, and many more. And while others struggle to maintain a foothold in the ever-changing rap landscape, R.A. The Rugged Man is the rare artist who has become more relevant with time, with each new album more compelling than the last. The Rugged Man’s latest offering is “All My Heroes Are Dead,” a new album that stands as his best work to date. “So many of the greats are gone, and the legends who made it out alive are cast aside,” R.A. explains. “Society left our heroes and their culture for dead. We have to dig that greatness out of its grave, and bring it back with an angry vengeance.”

Diss-Or-Daps Hosts: J-Reds & Poltergeist OD
What is Diss-Or-Daps ?
The weekly turned monthly podcast that is filmed in front of a live audience where Rappers/audience members put their names in the bucket and are randomly selected by the show hosts ‘J-Reds’ & ‘Poltergeist OD’ & given 60 seconds uninterrupted to rap on stage. They then rap acapella or spit a written / freestyle over a randomly selected beat. When their 60 seconds are up they will be cut off, and then comedically interviewed by our hosts.
