Every movie with a strong story deserves the right sequel.
You got it now.
On Ruff N Tuff I, he came to America to participate in the ultimate beat tournament.
On Ruff N Tuff II, they sent him to prison for a new form of crime: sampling.
Justice took his machine… and his freedom.
But he’s not alone.
He’s locked in with musical inmates from across the U.S.:
From South Carolina, soulful singer Rell
To New York with Teflon (M.O.P. camp), Fredro Starr (Onyx), Sauce Money, Bankai Fam, and Chyna Streetz
Philadelphia’s own Reef The Lost Cauze
The gifted MC Awon from Virginia
A haunting vocal call from Detroit’s Monica Blaire
Fresh from the West Coast, Tash (Tha Alkaholiks)
And Dallas with Casablanca
More than a prison fantasy, it’s a metaphor.
Talking about the album, Venom said:
“It took me 7 years to complete it, because I was locked up mentally.
I was so proud of the first Ruff N Tuff that I limited myself by thinking I could not do better with Part II.
But I made my way to the exit of that prison…”
Don’t get it twisted —
this is not your average European producer + U.S. MCs compilation.
Here, you get a musical movie that takes place in the United States: the story of a man fighting his way to recognition.
With everything that makes a great Hip Hop album:
Unorthodox sampling
Precise scratches
Strong themes
Varied lyrics and flows
And a cover hand-painted by the great ’80s movie illustrator Melki!
Get yours !
