About Lil' Ru (Biography)
 The
Ridgeway native was 16 when he made his professional foray into the
music business. Inspired by New Orleans’ innovative
Cash Money Crew, Ru began making a name for himself on his local music
scene, doing live shows and pressing up his own CDs. His hard-hitting
lyrics and entrepreneurial spirit caught the attention of fellow South
Carolinian Angie Stone. Shortly after the neo-soul songstress helped him
secure a deal with Elektra Records, Ru found himself unsigned again,
among the artists lost in the shuffle after the label merged with
Atlantic Records.
Music fans first got a taste of Ru’s wrath
on his 2001 debut single “Will Destroy.” The buzz on the promising new
lyricist continued with the release of his 2002 follow up, “Shawty What
You Doin’.” Both songs reached the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop charts and
helped land him at his current label home, Capitol Records.
Ru has worked with famed producers
Jazze Pha and Jim Johnson (producer of
Jamie Foxx’s single “Unpredictable”), as well as artists Rich Boi
and Alpha Omega. He was recently featured on the cover of
South Carolina’s Rize magazine and regularly
appears in the Southern hip-hop magazine Ozone. Lil’ Ru was also the
recipient of a 2007 Ozone award for the category “Artist Patiently
Waiting to Blow.”
