New Artist of The Week #2 - Alex Ruffin



Alex Ruffin is a 19 year old MC who, despite his young age, has what it takes to match and even exceed the skills of most rappers who have been doing it for years.



I remember coming across his music as I was scrolling through my Facebook page and seeing a status update mentioning the young MC by Rap Genius.  Declaring anybody the best lyricists of 2012, especially somebody who is not known by many people, is a huge statement for someone to live up to.  After hearing his song, “Overdosed on Reality” on YouTube for the first time ever, I believe that Alex Ruffin has what it takes to be a contender for the title of “Lyricist of The Year.” 

 
I was immediately impressed by his effortless flow, his deep-voiced delivery which commanded attention, and the old school atmosphere that was created by J. Dilla’s instrumental.

After he announced that his second mixtape was coming out soon, I crossed my fingers hoping that his other songs would be as high quality as his recent work.  After I listened to U.B.E.R., I was not disappointed.

Be sure to look out for Alex Ruffin’s name in the future, for he is truly an MC that will soon get the recognition he deserves with hard work, consistency, and growth in his skills.

Here’s a link to his second mixtape, U.B.E.R.
