Ruff Ryders Reunion?
Speculation of a Ruff Ryders reunion is circulating saying DMX, Swizz, and Murda Mook have been confirmed while Eve and The Lox have yet to be contacted. Ruff Ryders had shit on lock near the late 90s managing the multi platinum artists DMX, The Lox, and Eve. During the reign of No Limit Records and Cash Money Entertainment, Ruff Ryders managed to generate a huge fan base. The 1999 release, Ruff Ryders Vol. 1 debuted at number one on Billboard following the 4x platinum debut album by DMX, It's Dark and Hell Is Hot. Swizz's (nephew of the label creators) unique sound of production that began with The Lox and laced Eve's debut album can still be heard through artists today such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Trey Songz, Jennifer Hudson, Nicki Minaj, and the list goes on. It's actually pretty dope that this many members of the Ruff Ryders family have remained close over the years and are able to come together to put on what WILL BE an amazing series of shows! Do you remember the buzz DMX created with his nearly violent energy and Eve coming through holding her weight up to Lil Kim who was still actively on the rap scene? Eve managed to be the first female female rapper to enter the Billboard 200 as number one. Venues have already been booked, so look for an update of dates, locations, and times.
