Ruff Ryders

The all-star hip-hop collective/production team Ruff Ryders included CEOs Chivon, Dee, and Waah Dean, producers Swizz Beatz, DJ Shok, and PK, and gold- and platinum-selling rappers DMX, Eve, Drag On, as well as the LOX (Shawn “Sheek” Jacobs, Jayson Phillips, and David Styles). This incarnation from the Ruff Ryders crafted 1999’s Ryde or Die, Vol. 1, which also presented looks from Big Pun, Mase, Jay-Z, and Jermaine Dupri. Parle, Yung Wun, and Mix & Infa-Red also made an appearance on Ruff Ryders monitors, with Ryde or Die, Vol. 2 striking the roads in middle-2000. Acknowledging the rise of Southern rap, 2003’s Ryde or Pass away, Vol. 3: Within the “R” We Trust added Ludacris and Bubba Sparxxx to the combine. Redemption, Vol. 4 from 2005 fell “Ryde or Die” in the title from the series and presented Flashy. The compilation, Former Present Upcoming, implemented six years afterwards as group associates devoted additional time to specific tasks. In 2017, Ruff Ryders released a reunion tour and a reissue of days gone by Present Upcoming collection.
