Ruff is an American rapper, producer, songwriter, who is staking his claim as the "King of Long Island. The Long Island, NY native was engulfed with hip-hop culture from a young age--and, understandably so. [Hip-hop] guided almost every move I made,” Ruff is quick to explain, “the way I spoke, how I dressed, and all things I liked. I knew the words to my favorite songs before I knew my homework.” It was this sense of regional identity--and love of the culture--that propelled towards his dream of becoming a prominent figure in the industry.

As both a rap artist song writer and producer, rather than attempting to bring New York Rap back, Ruff is seeking to surf a new wave, and usher in an emergence of Long Island hip hop; he’s blending the flair and attention to detail that helped define the golden era, with a youthful dose of contemporary spice. The "King of The Island" is here!
