R.U.I.N. - The Audacity of DOPE (2013) [Free D/L]
R.U.I.N. is a Toronto Emcee and fairly new to the game at the age of 21. Influenced by Immortal Technique, D-Sisive, Common, Eminem, Shad K., Relic, Joe Budden, and Nas (just to name a few), he seeks out to explore all sides of Hip-Hop, providing fun music as well as addressing life's hardest issues. His first studio album, The Audacity of DOPE, is set for release this summer featuring production chiefly from Relic and Troy K.. Made up of 15 tracks it addresses everything from online dating to banksters to diet to suicide, and the album seeks to draw out the meaning of what it is to be a Saint, to live righteous in a crazy chaotic world. Gospel of Liberation, without a pulpit. Sainthood without perfection. Willing to die for the world out of love, not because of it out of despair.
