Ruthless & Redskull – The Archaeology Takeover EP (Free download & Videos)

Anyone who has followed me since my days writing for StandUpUK should be aware by now of Ruthless. For those of ya who aint in the know, let us introduce you to this talented up and coming UK Hip-Hop artist from Watford, Hertfordshire. Ruthless had it tough during his teenage years, but this layed the foundations for him to release his built up anger, energy and emotion through his unique style of independantly manufactured music. Ruthless didn’t finish school, instead – done what he could to get by since the age of twelve, but lately, the unfortunate death of his father (in his own words) made him “grow up” – and focus on what gave his dad his proudest moments. His music!!

Ruthless is a focused, committed artist and has consistently been releasing FREE E.P’s, Mixtapes and singles for hip hop fans all over the world to download, backed with impressivley professional music videos (ALL independantly paid for) since October 2010 – when he dropped his well received EP with Escape Route Music entitled ‘The EP (The Educated People)’ – This four track E.P. included the production skills of Dead-Man Walkn and Ill Thought Prcess, with a MASSIVE collaboration from UK Hip-Hop legend Genesis Elijah!

Last year in 2011 Ruthless upped the ante and unleashed a superb fifteen tracker entitled ‘From Then Till Now’ as well as more recently releasing the ‘The Archive Amnesty Takeover’ produced by Dead Man Walkn. Since then Ruthless has been busy working and collaborating and has worked with numerous producers including Dead Man Walkn, Redskull, Terry Hooligan, Dan Dare (The Elite), Ill Thought Process, Last Resort, Tricksta and many more, and featuring on tracks alongside Genesis Elijah, Terra Slim, Supar Novar, Danny Bones and many more.

Now in 2012, sees this new release ‘The Archaeology Takeover EP’ produced by Redskull who since starting out in 2005 has worked with the likes of K Koke, English Frank, Logic, Lowkey, Mic Righteous, Akala, USG, Joe Black, JaJa Soze, Squeeks, Durrty Goodz, Malik MD7 and more, as well as being nominated for an award at this years OMA’s.

What strikes you most when listening to Ruthless is his raw honesty with his lyrics and his desire to leave the past behind and focus on music, his work ethic is second to none constantly writing fresh bars, recording and shooting videos. With a host of top UK producers and emcees wanting to collab with Ruthless we can really see and hope this emcee gets the recognition he deserves in 2012.
