About Me:

The Rukus is a diverse crew of cats from all over the country. Currently, emcees KeithElite and Rude are recording tracks, rockin shows with DJ Blenda, and reppin for our crew, in Tampa, FL.

We try to create music that speaks on our lives and how we see things, unlike a lot of so called rappers these days who try to sound like the next man. Too many mainstream artists give the people false images of what life is really about. It seems like a lot of rappers these days are unoriginal and afraid to be themselves. Back to The Rukus... Rude is behind the production, the mic, and the mixing boards and KeithElite is the cat that's always down to freestyle and battle if necessary. Overall, we'd like people to listen to our music and knod their heads to what they hear. We'd also like to network with other musicians who have the same vision and focus about their music as we do. Tampa has a bunch of up and coming emcees and musicians and the scene is growing. We're glad to be a part of what is going on here. Besides rockin the stage with the Gwan Massive crew, we've also performed on bills with the likes of Surreal, Louis Logic, RADIx, X:144 & DJ SPS, LMNO of The Visionaries, Mayday!, Hangar 18, The AB's (formerly Asamov), Blackalicious, and the legendary De La Soul, to name a few... Be on the lookout for that official full length release in 2007. It's coming.
